Applications in Refining

Efficient Residual Conversion

Our gasification process converts low value refinery residuals such as petroleum coke, tars and heavy oils into hydrogen, carbon monoxide and steam.

Features & Benefits

  • Produces hydrogen in marketable quantities
  • Improves operating margins by eliminating the need to purchase natural gas to produce hydrogen and utilizing low or negative value residuals as feedstock
  • Minimizes disposal casts by using refinery residuals as feedstock
  • Generates marketable byproducts such as sulfur and slag
  • Carbon dioxide can be captured and used for enhanced oil and natural gas recovery, food grade purposes or for future emissions trading credits
  • Can use lower cost, heavier/high sulfur crudes without generating excessive emissions
  • Excess power can be sold
