Enhanced Treatment of Renewable Feedstocks with Integrated Off-Gas Processing

Abstract: a system for treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstocks containing oxygen and contaminants of one or more of metals, gums, and resins comprises a reactor having a heat source for heating an interior of the reactor. the reactor is configured to receive the feedstock at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec within the interior to facilitate heating the feedstock to a temperature of from 700� f. to 1100� f. to form a reactor product. a heat exchanger is configured to cool the reactor product and a separator unit is configured to separate metals, water, and gases comprising cor greater hydrocarbons from the cooled reactor product to form a final product. a reformer unit is configured to receive at least a portion of the gases for converting the at least one of cor greater hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen gas from the cor greater hydrocarbons.
