Bioliq Process1)Rapid Pyrolysis

Hot sand, pressureChar, oil

2) Slurry ProductionChar and oil mixbioslurry

3) Gasification Bioslurry w/ oxygen through gasifier

4) Purification and ConditioningSalts, h2S, COS, CS2, HCI, NH3, HCNPrevents poisoning

5) SynthesisBio-liquid

BenefitsGreen Globally, and Locally by reducing,

greenhouse gasesPollution

CO2 emissionsUse of parts of the biomass that is not

normally usedDon’t need to rely on other countriesMore jobs

ConsUses top soil

Non-renewableUses lots of waterNeed more to grow more biomass to feed

and for fuelTakes time to grow the biomassNeeds a lot of landBiodiversity lossIncrease costs of crops

What it produces:Heat

Electrical powerAutomotive fuel

Every agricultural

enterprise produces organic wastes

Agricultural enterprises produce liquid manure from livestock and can be produced into biogas

Carbon Dioxide is releases during biogas production

Energy produced from organic waste has the most potential of savings on greenhouse gases

Biogas plantsBiogas plants need

to be upgraded along with agro-biofuels.

The system requires the increase of concentration in the biogas mixture.

Consists nearly 100% of methane

Gas grid can produce heat and automotive fuel
