FCC / HC Biomass Co-Processing Pilot Plant
Description
Vinci Technologies’ biomass co-processing pilot plants are tailored to evaluating the co-feeding of liquefied biomass (bio-crude) with conventional refinery streams. These systems help industry partners assess how bio-derived feeds behave in existing refinery processes such as Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and hydrocracking — including slurry phase and ebullated bed reactors — by enabling detailed catalytic activity investigations under industrially relevant conditions.
Features
Feed conditioning for mixed bio/conventional feedstock
Reaction modules mimicking refinery FCC or hydrocracking units
Separation and sampling systems for detailed analysis
Use cases: Catalyst screening for renewable co-processing, refining decarbonisation, scaling strategies for biofeed incorporation.
Benefits
*Realistic evaluation of bio-feed integration by testing liquefied biomass with conventional refinery streams under industrial FCC and hydrocracking conditions
* Reduced risk for refinery decarbonisation through early assessment of catalyst behavior, performance, and compatibility with bio-derived feeds
* Actionable data for scale-up decisions supporting catalyst screening and integration strategies for renewable co-processing
