Abstract
Pyrolysis liquids have a number of characteristics that limit their fuel use to combustion applications such as boilers, furnaces and turbines. These liquids can be catalytically upgraded in dedicated plants to hydrocarbons. An alternative approach is to introduce them into a conventional refinery to utilise orthodox oil-refining technologies for upgrading. This chapter describes the opportunities and limitations for upgrading pyrolysis liquids in an oil refinery.
