A PROCESS FOR UPGRADING PYROLYSIS OIL, TREATED PYROLYSIS OIL AND THE USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for upgrading pyrolysis oil comprising heating pyrolysis oil in the absence of added catalyst at 100°C to 200°C temperature and 50 bar to 250 bar pressure, and heating the product of the first heating in the absence of added catalyst at 200°C to 400°C temperature and 50 bar to 250 bar pressure. The present invention also relates to the product obtained by the process according to the invention and to the use of treated pyrolysis oil. The invention further describes methods where the treated pyrolysis oil according to any process of the invention is fed to a power plant for producing electricity; is burned in a boiler for producing heating oil and/or is used as transportation fuel or as a blending component in transportation fuel.
