Hydrotreating | Co-processing for kerosene hydrotreating

Your business’ fast-track to Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Transitioning into the renewable era doesn’t have to require major modifications to your refinery, high costs or large amounts of time. By supplementing the fossil feedstock in your kerosene hydrotreater with 5% renewable feedstock, you can produce the world’s purest fuel type: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) 

How does it work? 

Choosing Topsoe’s high-performance catalyst TK-930 D-wax™ for co-processing renewable feedstock in your kerosene hydrotreater will maintain highest possible biogenic carbon in the jet fuel, which enables it to meet the freeze point specifications. This is possible due to the market leading isomerization selectivity of the catalyst. 

Benefits of choosing renewable co-processing in your kerosene hydrotreater for SAF production

•    It’s the easiest way to start producing SAF as transition can be done without major modifications to your existing refinery
•    It’s a low CAPEX solution
•    It’s fast to implement, so you can start sooner rather than later
•    You can choose your own co-processing starting point – the amount of renewable feed can be as high as 5%.Co-processing for kerosene hydrotreating_flowdiagramRenewable feedstock in, renewable feedstock out.
