Integrated pyrolysis and gasification of biomass
Systems and methods are provided for integrated pyrolysis and gasification of a biomass feed, either as a separate feed or under co-processing conditions. The integrated pyrolysis and gasification can be performed using any convenient reactor configuration, such as fluidized coking reactor configuration or a fluid catalytic cracking reactor configuration. The biomass feed can initially by pyrolyzed to form liquid products, gas phase products, and char. The char can then be used as the input feed to gasification. In aspects where the biomass feed is co-processed, the biomass can be co-processed with a co-feed that is suitable for processing under fluidized coking conditions or other pyrolysis conditions, such as a conventional fluidized coking feedstock.
