<font color="#333399"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Thanks Crispin for the insight and details. In 1992 when pyrolysis oil R&D was in infancy I was involved little bit in its propagation and research. Since I left this field long ago I was interested in knowing whether somebody has been able to produce kerosene directly from biomass via the fast combustion process rather than going through pyrolysis oil route.<br>

If you assume that transesterification of the input materials makes an array of carbohydrogens from CH4 to C25H52 or so, then the faction between C9H20 and C20H42 will be ‘paraffin’ by general classification.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

If you have a) and ultimate analysis and b) some characterisation of the chain lengths perhaps the biodiesel or bioenergy association of some country could give you an estimated yield. For example <a href="http://www.saba.za.org/site" target="_blank">http://www.saba.za.org/site</a> One of their members (at least) makes a container-mounted sunflower to diesel unit that produces about 3 litres per second.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
