Abstract:
1. A system for generating a hybrid diesel fuel product, said system comprising: a) an extraction unit for treating a triglyceride-containing biomass so as to yield a triglyceride fraction comprising triglycerides and a non-triglyceride fraction; b) a transesterification unit for transesterifying a first portion of the triglycerides in the triglyceride fraction to yield monoesters; c) a steam-reforming unit for converting a second portion of the triglycerides in the triglyceride fraction into bio-derived H d) a hydroprocessing reactor for hydroprocessing at least a portion of the monoesters with H e) a pyrolysis unit operable for pyrolyzing at least a portion of the non-triglyceride fraction to pyrolysis oil, at least a portion of which is hydroprocessed in the hydroprocessing reactor to yield one or more hydrocarbon products of a second type.
