Fischer-Tropsch products and services
Velocys provides Fischer-Tropsch products and services used in renewable fuels projects that convert synthesis gas into liquid hydrocarbons.
Its commercial offering combines technology licensing, reactor systems, catalyst, engineering packages, and operational services developed through more than two decades of Fischer-Tropsch deployment.
These products and services support project developers moving from early concept definition through commercial operation.
Core commercial offerings
- microFTL technology provides the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis core for distributed-scale projects
- Reactor and catalyst systems are supplied as integrated synthesis components and modules
- Operational services continue through commissioning, performance optimization, and catalyst support
What products does Velocys provide?
Velocys provides core Fischer-Tropsch technology used to convert synthesis gas into synthetic hydrocarbons.
Core products include:
- microFTL™ technology
- integrated Fischer-Tropsch modules
- AlphaCore™ microchannel reactors
- SQRCAT™ catalyst systems
These products form the hydrocarbon synthesis section of larger fuel production pathways.
What services support project development?
Velocys supports project developers before final investment decisions are made.
Early-stage support includes:
Assessment of project fit, scale, and synthesis integration.
Technical definition of synthesis configuration for project engineering.
These services help define how Fischer-Tropsch synthesis fits inside broader plant design.
What services support deployment and operation?
Velocys services continue through commissioning and commercial operation.
Operational services include:
- commissioning and startup
- performance testing and optimization
- catalyst loading, lifecycle advice, and replacement
This enables synthesis performance support after hardware delivery.
Where do Velocys products fit in a fuel production plant?
Velocys products sit at the hydrocarbon synthesis stage of fuel production.
A complete renewable fuels plant also includes:
- feedstock conversion
- syngas generation
- syngas cleaning
- downstream upgrading
Velocys technology converts cleaned synthesis gas into synthetic hydrocarbons that can then be refined into finished fuel products.
What feedstocks can Velocys technology support?
Velocys products support projects using multiple syngas pathways.
This includes projects based on:
- biogas
- biomass
- municipal solid waste
- gas feedstocks
- power-derived synthesis gas
Because the synthesis step remains consistent, multiple feedstock pathways use the same Fischer-Tropsch core.
Why does operating experience matter?
Velocys products are supported by operating knowledge developed through commercial and demonstration deployments.
That experience includes:
- reactor operation
- catalyst performance
- product yield behavior
- startup learning
- modular deployment lessons
- process integration
- sampling and analysis
Velocys’ earlier GTL deployment at Envia demonstrated modular Fischer-Tropsch operation under commercial conditions, providing operating grounding for later renewable fuel pathways.
How are products and services connected?
Velocys products and services are designed to support the full synthesis lifecycle.
A typical pathway may begin with:
- feasibility study
- process design package
- module, reactor and catalyst deployment
- commissioning
- optimization and catalyst support
This creates continuity between design and operation.
Frequently asked questions
