Summary

This research converts sewage sludge into renewable fuel using hydrothermal liquefaction, which mimics natural oil formation in minutes. The resulting biocrude is upgraded through solvent extraction and hydrotreating to remove impurities and improve fuel properties. The process shows significant potential for transforming wastewater waste into sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.
