Introduction - the business case for thermal pretreatment BioFlux™ improves both OPEX and product margins by tackling the two biggest SAF cost drivers: feedstock price and hydrogen consumption. It enables use of lower-cost FOGs and reduces hydrotreating hydrogen demand by up to 50% through oxygen removal. Combined benefits translate to up to 12% lower production costs vs. conventional processes, and up to 15% savings when compared to the combined conventional pretreatment + h
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
