The present application relates to the technical field of
biomass energy conversion, and particularly relates to a device for preparing bio-
crude oil through continuous
hydrothermal liquefaction of
biomass, which comprises a pretreatment unit, a hydrothermal reactor, a gas-
solid-liquid separator and an oil-water separator connected through pipelines in sequence, and further comprises a catalyst circulation unit for converting
solid residues into catalysts, the catalyst circulation unit comprising an activation reactor and a conditioning tank connected in series, the activation reactor being connected in parallel to a feed pipeline of the hydrothermal reactor, and the conditioning tank being connected in parallel to a
solid outlet of the gas-solid-liquid separator. According to the present application, the solid residues are converted into catalysts, so that the catalysts are high-performing, the catalysts are recycled during
hydrothermal liquefaction, and the bio-
crude oil is further upgraded.
