Description: Biomass is recognized as a potential source for sustainable production of fuels. Since early 1900s, biomass, mainly forestry residuals, had been used for small-scale production of biodiesel as motor fuel, however, because of the pronounced drop in the price of petroleum in recent decades and competitive economics, large-scale production of fuels from biomass has decreased. In addition, environmental issues, low reactor yield, and uncertainties in biomass feedstock have challenged process design engineers. Hence, extensive research has been reported to address these issues. Pyrolysis and gasification processes can commercially produce a wide range of fuels, chemical, solvents, and other valuable products from biomass. Scholars attempted to optimize various independent operating variables, find innovative approaches to increase the reaction yield, and develop novel product upgrading methods such as bio-oil upgrading, yet, limited studies were focused on implementation of these methods for a multi-feed integrated biomass production plant. This paper is focused on conceptual design and feasibility study of such systems. To this end, abundant sources of biomass in the Prairies (Saskatchewan) such as agricultural solid wastes, municipal solid wastes, forestry residuals, and industrial wastes were identified and characterized. Based on the comparison and analysis of existing commercial biomass gasification/pyrolysis systems in the world, a multi-feed integrated biomass conversion system in Saskatchewan was devised and simulated. Economics, net energy production, post-upgrading of products, and fallibility of predictions will be discussed.
