Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a) a pyrolysis unit; b) at least two feeds in communication with said pyrolysis unit, said at least two feeds comprising (i) a biomass feed, and (ii) at least one of a waste plastic feed and a Fischer-Tropsch waxy feed, wherein the at least two feeds are configured to channel the at least two feeds into the pyrolysis unit sequentially or simultaneously so as to produce pyrolysis oil, and wherein the at least two feeds are separated from the pyrolysis unit by a regulatory unit configured to individually control the rate at which each feed is fed into the pyrolysis unit such that each feed is varied so as to produce a uniform product or products from a non-uniform feed; c) a separation unit for separating the pyrolysis oil into at least two pyrolyzed component fractions according to their boiling range; d) a hydrotreating unit for hydrotreating at least one of the pyrolyzed component fractions so as to yield one or more hydrotreated fractions; and e) an isomerization unit for catalytically-isomerizing at least one of the hydrotreated fractions so as to yield at least one isomerized product.
