Abstract
Results indicate that thermal drying prior to catalytic pyrolysis (TDCP) incurs capital costs similar to those incurred in partial mechanical dewatering prior to catalytic pyrolysis (MDCP) ($346Â million vs. $409Â million). TDCP and MDCP yield minimum fuel-selling prices (MFSPs) of $1.80/l and $1.49/l, respectively. Energy analysis shows that TDCP achieves 16.8% energy efficiency and MDCP achieves 26.7% efficiency.
