Comparison of BTL Process and BINGO Process

For comparison with the Bioliq BTL process, the BINGO yields will in fact be somewhat greater for straw containing 15% moisture. Thus the overall yield of hydrocarbon liquids from wheat straw is estimated to be 24% UBB. As far as we can determine this would be the highest yield of hydrocarbon liquids from whole biomass ever reported. It far exceeds the 14% biomass to diesel reported for the Bioliq BTL process; even when account is taken of the likelihood that yields of motor fuels -as opposed to unspecified hydrocarbons – in the final step will be somewhat lower on account of the higher severity hydrotreatment that would be required.

Note that the Dynamotive’s pyrolysis process typically would give biooil yields of about 70-75% from woody biomass and 60-65% from bone dry wheat straw.
