The Process
The process combines the individual equipment components in a sequence which optimizes their efficiency. Each component supplier, a major equipment provider of international standing, has been directly involved with the design and selection of their equipment to provide an efficient link in the process.
-
The fuel/water product is distilled to separate the fuel from water and any unreacted gases
-
The unreacted gases are sent back into the process, the water is sent to storage, and the final fuel product is stored prior to onward entry into the fuel marketplace.
The process results in the efficient conversion of the feedstock into high-value, renewable, drop-in fuel product for either the aviation or road fuels market. No further refining is required.
Heat exchangers around the reactors transfer heat to water to create steam. This steam runs through a turbine that produces power to both run the facility (self-sufficient) and provide excess energy to the grid.
Our feedstock could include biogas, wood of all types, energy crops, agricultural residue, cellulose, and Refuse Derived Fuel from Municipal Solid Waste. We also represent a major offtake route for green hydrogen, providing a mechanism to enable its use in transport fuels today without the need to develop a new technology or a market.
We have chosen biomethane, together with additional available volumes of carbon dioxide and green hydrogen, as our initial feedstock to exemplify the process using low risk homogenous material that delivers maximum carbon reductions. We can produce either Jet A1 aviation fuel (MtJ) or road ready gasoline (MtG).
In the process:
-
The feedstock is converted into individual molecules of CO and H2, together with some CO2 and hydrocarbons (syngas)
-
These syngas's are subsequently:
-
cleaned and filtered to remove unwanted contaminants
-
compressed and some water is removed
-
reacted in two subsequent reactors to deliver a fuel/water mix
-
