Product streams of the experimental Flash Hydropyrolysis (FHP) unit currently in operation at Brookhaven National Laboratory have been analyzed for sulfur, nitrogen, phenol, and other potential pollutants. Based on experimental results and analytical studies, a preliminary environmental assessment of a conceptual, industrial scale FHP-Chemical Complex producing pipeline gas, benzene, light oils, ethylene, and a number of byproducts has been made. Solid, liquid, and gaseous effluents of the complex have been evaluated, and required effluent treatment facilities and potential problem areas identified.
