Biofuel Production via Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Algae provides an in-depth review of hydrothermal liquefaction processes, focusing on biofuel production from algae. The book is divided into two main parts that explore experimental and modeling aspects of the process. It covers reaction kinetics, process design, simulations, and materials and methods. With specialized chapters on various topics, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to hydrothermal liquefaction, detailing processes for different feedstocks, product characterization, by-products, recent advancements, and key issues in the technology. The book also evaluates biocrude production potential from algae, discussing the impact of operating parameters and supported by experimental data.Pre-treatment methods, mathematical and statistical techniques for model building, kinetic modeling, and simulation of hydrothermal liquefaction processes are explained in-depth. An economic evaluation assesses feasibility and commercial potential while exergy analysis aims to improve thermodynamic performance. Environmental and sustainability issues are also addressed, with the final chapter presenting real-world case studies of hydrothermal liquefaction projects.Discusses the kinetic evaluation, process analysis, and response surface methodology for hydrothermal liquefaction of algae for biofuel productionExamines the environmental and sustainability issues of hydrothermal liquefaction of algae (including LCA and technoeconomics) in addition to the technical issues in a biorefineryProvides real-world case studies of hydrothermal liquefaction projects for biofuels production

This book covers different aspects of gas injection, from the classic pressure maintenance operation to enhanced oil recovery (EOR), underground gas storage (UGS), and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
