Process Technologies

Jetanol® suite

Jetanol™ suite

This technology can process low-carbon ethanol (bioethanol, advanced bioethanol) into Sustainable Aviation Fuel, renewable diesel and naphtha. Jetanol® proposes an integrated solution in three steps: Dehydration, Oligomerization, Hydrogenation.

Flexibility on both feedstock and product
Single supplier of technology and catalyst for the whole chain
Industrially proven for each step: dehydration, oligomerization, hydrogenation and fractionation processes

OATS™

OATS™ is a simple fixed bed process operating under mild conditions without hydrogen and using a low cost resin TA 801 catalyst. The OATSTM process can be designed to ensure a continuous operation between two FCC turnarounds.

This process has been proved in industry and offers major advantages over competing technologies such as higher octane retention and lower RVP of the gasoline product with no need for hydrogen and low cost metallurgy equipment allowing the retrofitting of idle isomerization or etherification plants.

The main types of reaction take place over TA 801 catalyst used in the process:

  • Sulfur Shift Reactions
  • Olefins Shift Reactions
  • Desulfurization Mode
  • Oligomerization Mode
Production of Ultra Low Sulfur IBP-100°C cut
Reduced HDS unit size and H2 consumption in HDS
Octane retention

MiRO & Axens Celebrate Twenty Years of Close Partnership Around Prime-G+® Technology

Twenty years ago, at the dawn of the new millennium, MiRO (Karlsruhe, Germany) was the first end-user to select the new Axens Prime-G+® technology to produce ultra-low sulfur gasoline. Both companies, fully committed towards cleaner fuels production, entered as pioneers in the stringent world of Euro V standards by producing 10 ppm sulfur gasoline well ahead of mandatory regulations.

Renewable Fuels & Bio-Based Chemicals

What’s the range of drop-in fuels we could potentially produce from biofeedstocks (lipids) with an appropriate process line-up?

Lipids are biofeedstocks that, after hydrotreatment, will generate 100% linear paraffin streams in the typical range of C14-C20, free of sulphur and nitrogen.

Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage Syngas

We want to reduce the refinery’s carbon footprint, starting with SMR. What’s the best economic approach: CCUS, an alternative process, or buy in the hydrogen?

Starting with SMR in the refinery, you will have three steps for decarbonisation: Carbon capture on the SMR synthetic gas itself, retrofitting the existing SMR in order to reduce CO2 emissions and Carbon capture on the flue gas.
