The aviation industry faces a critical challenge: reducing its carbon footprint while meeting growing demand for air travel. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) offers a promising path forward, especially when produced from agricultural residues. In 2026, lignocellulosic technology has emerged as a key player in converting these residues into cleaner, efficient fuels. This post explores how innovations in this field, particularly the Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) process, are reshaping th

The bio-chemical industry faces constant pressure to bring products to market quickly while maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and efficiency. One critical decision in project execution is the choice between modular and stick-built construction methods. This choice can significantly affect timelines, costs, and operational flexibility. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each approach helps project managers and engineers select the best path forward. Th

Introduction — One Train for Many Feeds Biodiesel producers increasingly work with acid‑esterified biodiesel and pyrolysis biofuels —both can carry sulfur and cold‑flow issues that complicate compliance. Sulzer’s distillation addresses cold‑flow and purity; when paired with adsorption , it reliably delivers <10 ppm sulfur . What Makes These Feeds Challenging? Acid‑Esterified Biodiesel Residual contaminants and sulfur species can carry through post‑reaction, requiring robu
