Description
A major issue hindering the ability for renewable fuel producers to reach desired production rates is the lack of abundance in usable feedstocks. Renewable feedstock oils must meet certain criteria on impurities levels before hydrotreating to protect from destruction of expensive catalyst beds. VFT proposes the use of its proprietary fiber reactor technology protected by a global patent portfolio (including patents specific to the desired application) for the efficient and economical valorization of low CI score waste fats and oils as feedstocks to produce renewable fuels which does not require centrifuge or bleaching clays. VFT's technology provides 10X surface area of traditional mixing technologies at a fraction of the size. VFT enables highly efficient immiscible phase mixing with fiber media internals to drive mass transfer of molecules from one immiscible phase to the other. The elimination of chaotic mechanical mixing prevents or significantly minimizes emulsion formation so that the BI-phasic streams exiting the fiber reactor are cleanly separated.
