BioForming® Sugar to Aromatics (S2A) ready now and fit for the future

The BioForming® S2A process turns sugars into a drop-in aromatic feedstock, BioFormate®. Like its reformate namesake, BioFormate® can be utilized to make a variety of end products such as bio-gasoline, drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and bio-BTX (benzene, toluene and xylenes) - molecules used as building blocks for many everyday products, such as pharmaceuticals, polymers and coatings.

Hydroprocessing - Its not magic Its science

Its not magic. Its science. Hydroprocessors know the wall that lies between them and peak reactor performance. Fouling, pressure drop, precipitation, agglomeration, polymerization, and catalyst deactivation, these obstacles build up, block by block. We help you break through that wall, clearing your path to performance. With highly specialized expertise and unique, industry-proven solutions, Crystaphase has helped refiners all over the world achieve unprecedented efficiency ...

Transition to net zero: steps to decarbonize the oil refining industry

A review of the solutions being employed by oil refineries to reduce their Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Despite improvements in vehicle fuel economy, increasing adoption of hybrids, and EVs, petroleum- based fuel demand continues to grow, at least in the short- to mid-term! In general, demand is generated from population growth and increased car ownership, and both are increasing. However, during the pandemic, people concerned about health moved around less. Consequently, ...
