This study presents a preliminary evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of selected conceptual processes for pyrolytic conversion of organic feedstocks or the decomposition/detoxification of hazardous wastes by coupling the process to the geopressured-geothermal resource. of each process selected for evaluation including the technical evaluation of each. used and the evaluation of the technically viable process. section presents conclusions and recommendations. processes were selected for evaluation. These are pyrolytic conversion of biomass to petroleum like fluids, wet air oxidation (WAO) at subcritical conditions for destruction of hazardous waste, and supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) also for the destruction of hazardous waste. The scientific feasibility of all three processes has been previously established by various bench-scale and pilot-scale studies. The report presents a detailed discussion of the resource and Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Assistant Secretary for Conservation and Renewable Energy Office of Utility Technologies, Under DOE Contract No. DE-AC07-76ID01570.
