Jet fuel from renewable feedstocks

Expand your refinery business with HydroFlex™ so you can convert renewable feedstocks into drop-in, ultra-low sulfur jet fuel. Our proven, comprehensive system gives you total feedstock flexibility. So you can future-proof your refinery against today’s changing legislative and market demands – and grow your business.

Meet changing demands

 

Flexible system for jet fuel with super-low yield loss

At Topsoe, we are adept at taking our research and development programs and ramping them into fully commercialized products. But we never stop developing and refining our products or the processes that create them. This is especially true for jet fuels.

Working with customers such as SkyNRG, we have achieved a much lower yield loss despite producing jet fuel that is fully operational at -40˚C, and which complies with all international standards, including ASTM D7566 and HEFA-SPK.

Processing renewables for jet fuel requires more units and a more complex layout than that for regular diesels. With HydroFlex™, however you have the option to build a flexible unit that is able to switch from producing 100% diesel to 100% jet fuel.

Meet rising demand for high-grade biofuels

We have a track record of developing innovative solutions for clean, competitive fuels from renewable feedstock since 2004.

Although the legislation concerning renewable feedstock is relatively recent, we are ready to help you meet the demand for modern, high-grade biofuels today. With HydroFlex™, you can produce renewable gasoline, jet fuel and diesel from almost any feedstock, including tall oil, used cooking oil, animal fats and vegetable oils.

The process is complex, very different to refining non-renewable fuels and requires a substantial investment. But it is also profitable.
