Abstract
The process and system of the embodiments utilize a reactive separation unit to upgrade a bioprocess intermediate stream to higher value liquid fuels or chemicals. The reactive separation unit simultaneously enables molecular weight and density increases, oxygen content reduction, efficient process energy integration, optional water separation for potential reuse, and incorporation of additional hydrocarbons or oxygenated hydrocarbons as co-feed(s). The use and selection of particular co-feed(s) for this purpose enables tailoring of the intended product composition. The process and system yields a product of higher alcohols, liquid hydrocarbons, or a combination of these. These can be split into two (or more) boiling point fractions by the same reactive separations unit operation resulting in product(s) that can be used as chemicals, chemical intermediates, or alternative (non-fossil-based) liquid transportation fuels.
