This project modelled a thermal liquefaction industrial facility for biofuel production from sugarcane bagasse using the process modelling software ASPEN Plus. Techno-economic models of liquefaction, pyrolysis and gasification processes were completed to assess the comparative feasibility of these thermochemical biofuel production processes. Model liquefaction biocrudes, were developed in ASPEN Plus using simulated distillation data and this method's utility in modelling biocrudes was validated.
