NOVELTY - Process comprises: (a) subjecting a biomass feedstock to a pyrolysis treatment to provide a biomass pyrolysis effluent stream comprising (i) wet pyrolysis oil comprising liquid pyrolysis oil and water, (ii) non-condensable gases; and (iii) char (28); (b) separating at least 70% of the char from the biomass pyrolysis effluent stream to form a raw biomass pyrolysis product (30); (c) feeding raw biomass pyrolysis product into an absorption and quench apparatus (33); and (d) directly contacting raw biomass pyrolysis product with a cold quench fluid feed in the absorption and quench apparatus.    USE - The process is useful for recovering the biomass pyrolysis product.    ADVANTAGE - The process provides fast quenching rates for the hot pyrolysis product, prevents polycondensation, enhances product recovery, and facilitates initial product separation;    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Process comprises (a) subjecting a biomass feedstock to a pyrolysis treatment to provide a biomass pyrolysis effluent stream comprising (i) wet pyrolysis oil comprising liquid pyrolysis oil and water, (ii) non-condensable gases, and (iii) char, (b) separating at least 70% of the char from the biomass pyrolysis effluent stream to form a raw biomass pyrolysis product, (c) feeding the raw biomass pyrolysis product into an absorption and quench apparatus, and (d) directly contacting the raw biomass pyrolysis product with a cold quench fluid feed in the absorption and quench apparatus, where the raw biomass pyrolysis product is cooled and condensed while at least one separable component from the raw biomass pyrolysis product is absorbed and/or diluted by the cold quench fluid feed. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a quench fluid for quenching, absorbing and/or diluting a raw biomass pyrolysis product comprising a solvent comprising hydrocarbon solvents and/or substituted hydrocarbon solvents; and    (2) a method for quenching, absorbing and/or diluting a raw biomass pyrolysis product comprising (c) and (d) as above per se.
