Patent ID: 8147766

Claim:
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 2 ; d) a hydroprocessing reactor for hydroprocessing at least a portion of the monoesters with H 2 to yield one or more hydrocarbon products of a first type, wherein a portion of the H 2 so utilized is provided by the bio-derived H 2 ; and 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.
