The project aims to develop new understanding and tools to support commercial-scale production of biocrude from microalgae or biosolids and enable a breakthrough in cost-effective production of sustainable fuels. A novel hydrothermal liquefaction reactor has been developed that has strong potential to overcome the limitations of Muradel's existing demonstration reactor which, while world-leading, is uneconomical at commercial scale. The project aims to develop design tools to optimise the new reactor, comprising a chemical model of the complex, multi-component hydrothermal liquefaction reactions, a computational model of the mixing and heat transfer within it and a network model of the energy and exergy flows.

该项目旨在开发新的理解和工具，以支持从微藻或生物固体中商业化生产生物原油，并在可持续燃料的成本效益生产方面取得突破。已经开发出一种新型水热液化反应器，该反应器具有克服Muradel现有示范反应器的局限性的强大潜力，该示范反应器虽然世界领先，但在商业规模上是不经济的。该项目旨在开发设计工具以优化新反应器，包括复杂的多组分水热液化反应的化学模型，其中混合和传热的计算模型以及能量和火用流的网络模型。
