How to turn waste into oil, Engineers Australia, August 2016, p 18
In Australia, Licella with the University of Sydney have developed a process for converting low-cost non-edible waste biomatter into a bio crude-oil. The key Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR) technology processes the pulverised biomatter with high-temperature high-pressure steam to break down the ether linkages in the polymeric structure of the feedstock. In a UK contract with Renewable Chemical Technologies, end-of-life plastics will be converted to high-quality oil suitable for blending with conventional fuels without the need for pre-sorting. In a Canadian contract with CanFor, the pulp and paper byproducts will be converted into bio-crude, allowing the use of the entire tree rather than selected parts of the trunk alone.
