Leading IP protected commercially demonstrated technology solution

Velocys’ technology adds significant IP and optimisation to the long-established Fischer-Tropsch process which overcomes specific temperature and pressure challenges, enabling SAF to be produced safely and effectively in a reactor at a large commercial scale.

Velocys produces the world’s most compact Fischer-Tropsch reactor for the synthesis of hydrocarbons and allows the production of advanced biofuels from large, sustainable carbon sources such as household waste and forest residues.

The Velocys process

A process to transform waste to fuel, built around our proprietary catalyst and reactor.

Technology

Velocys FT Reactor

Leading IP protected technology consisting of an optimised FT process based on proprietary microchannel reactors and a highly active proprietary catalyst. The technology is modular, using reactors of a standard design which has been proven in service at full scale. The reactor design enables very efficient heat transfer and control, thus supporting a stable process with high selectivity for desired products. The proprietary catalyst complements the novel reactor architecture enabling an exceptional high volumetric productivity 6-10 times that of traditional FT technologies. The technology can achieve and maintain high per-pass (70%) and overall (90-95%) CO conversion and has an excellent catalyst-wax separation performance, with no need for post-reactor solids removal.

new facility

Ohio reactor core assembly

A new 52,000 sq ft reactor core assembly facility has been built in Columbus, Ohio with sufficient production capacity to meet projected orders until 2028. The new site will be able to produce approximately 12 reactors a year and will house all of Velocys’ reactor core assembly and catalysis operations.
