Introduction - turning “problem” FOGs into opportunity High-impurity waste fats and oils are abundant and cheap, but they challenge conventional pretreatment. BioFlux™ converts and cleans these feeds into hydrotreating-ready material while minimizing contaminants and oxygen content - allowing refiners to reliably monetize hardest-to-use streams, including Category 1 tallow. What feedstocks are in scope? Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Distillers Corn Oil (DCO) Soybean oil and palm oil
Introduction - the fast lane to competitive SAF Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) economics hinge on two variables: feedstock cost and hydrotreating efficiency. Sulzer’s BioFlux™ Thermal Pretreatment Technology (TPT) unlocks low-cost feedstocks including used cooking oil (UCO), distillers corn oil (DCO), and Category 1 tallow by drastically lowering contaminants (up to 96% metals, 99% phosphorus, 99.9% chlorides) and removing up to 50% oxygen before hydrotreating. The result is
