Overview
Axens has launched a 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) unit in Asia, marking a significant development in renewable fuel production. The facility can convert 300 KTA of renewable feedstock into high-value SAF.
Technology and Process
The unit is a revamp of existing hydroprocessing assets, utilizing a simple two-stage scheme. This process, combined with Axens 700 series catalyst, allows for the production of either 100% Renewable Diesel (RD) or 100% SAF, providing flexibility to meet market demands.
Operational Efficiency
Since its inception, the unit has demonstrated stable operation and positive performance. The Vegan® process enables the production of 100% SAF without the need for an additional hydrocracking stage, preventing unwanted co-production of Renewable Diesel.
