Process Gas Analysis on Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Algae
The objective of this study was to quantify the non-nitrogen elements of the off gas produced during the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) process using algal feedstock. The principle product of HTL is Bio-crude oil that can be upgraded to produce transportation fuels. A byproduct of this process is a gas phase that can potentially include useful
