We assume that 13% Heavier Bottoms are recycled to Hydroprocessing Reactor, the rest is Fuel Gas. ppPlus Estimate : 10168 tpaWastewater - Reaction water is estimated to be 2% by weight from the feedstock stream (purified tall oil). ppPlus Estimate : 2450 tpaBionaphtha - As shown in US 10,023,810 B2, Example 2, Crude Tall Oil hydroprocessing makes 71% Diesel and 7% Gasoline (Naphtha). Therefore Bionaphtha is about 10% by weight of the Renewable Diesel quantity. ppPlus Estimate : 9861 tpaRenewable Diesel - According to the Biofuel Fact Sheet, 2016 Version published on the ETIP Bioenergy platform, the UPM Biofuels – commercial plant in Lappeenranta, Finland has the capacity to produce 100,000 mt per year of Renewable Diesel similar to HVO. ppPlus Estimate : 100020 tpaTall Oil Heads - According to US 10,240, 095 B2, Example 2: "The purification removes 4% of the light fraction and 6% of the heavy pitch fraction providing 90 % of the crude tall oil as purified CTO." ppPlus Estimate : 5400 tpaTall Oil Pitch - According to US 10 ,240 , 095 B2, Example 2: "The purification removes 4 % of the light fraction and 6 % of the heavy pitch fraction providing 90 % of the crude tall oil as purified CTO." ppPlus Estimate : 8100 tpa
