1. A system for producing renewable fuels, said system comprising:
a bio-oil production facility comprising a biomass conversion reactor for converting biomass into bio-oil; a petroleum refinery for refining petroleum products; and an integration system for combining at least a portion of said bio-oil from said bio-oil production facility with one or more petroleum-derived streams in said petroleum refinery for co-processing therewith, wherein said integration system comprises at least one of a first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and/or sixth integration mechanism for combining at least a portion of said bio-oil with at least one of said petroleum-derived streams, wherein said refinery comprises one or more of the following refining systems (i) through (vi)
(i) a first hydrotreating unit and a first fractionator, wherein said first hydrotreating unit is located downstream of said first integration mechanism and said first fractionator is located downstream of said first hydrotreating unit;(ii) a second catalytic cracking unit and a second fractionator, wherein said second catalytic cracking unit is located downstream of said second integration mechanism and said second fractionator is located downstream of said second catalytic cracking unit;(iii) a third hydrotreating unit, a third catalytic cracking unit, and a third fractionator, wherein said third hydrotreating unit is located downstream of said third integration mechanism, wherein said third catalytic cracking unit is located downstream of said third hydrotreating unit, wherein said third fractionator is located downstream of said third catalytic cracking unit;(iv) a fourth hydrotreating unit, a fourth hydrocracking unit, and a fourth fractionator, wherein said fourth hydrotreating unit is located downstream of said fourth integration mechanism, wherein said fourth hydrocracking unit is located downstream of said fourth hydrotreating unit, wherein said fourth fractionator is located downstream of said fourth hydrocracking unit;(v) a fifth thermal cracking unit and a fifth fractionator, wherein said fifth thermal cracking unit is located downstream of said fifth integration mechanism and said fifth fractionator is located downstream of said fifth thermal cracking unit; and/or(vi) a sixth fractionator, a sixth thermal cracking unit, and a sixth hydrotreating unit, wherein said sixth fractionator is located downstream of said sixth integration mechanism, wherein said sixth thermal cracking unit is located downstream of said sixth fractionator, wherein said sixth hydrotreating unit is located downstream of said sixth fractionator. |
