Abstract
For the purpose of developing a low cost liquefaction process, rapid pyrolysis of woody biomass has been investigated using an entrained flow reactor. In the bench-scale entrained flow reactor, cedar particles were rapidly pyrolized and the products were analyzed. The yield of liquid products was up to 50wt% compared with the fed biomass in dry weight. The moisture of liquid products should be removed and the products are expected to use as alternative to heavy fuel oil.
