Synfuels technology can be applied in two configurations depending on the cracker mode selected.
With a Partial Oxidation Cracker, ethylene or gasoline blendstock and syngas are produced. The syngas can be converted into methanol or a number of other products, such as gasoline, ethylene and propylene.
If a Pyrolysis Cracker is selected, Synfuels technology only produces gasoline blendstock. Our proprietary cracker has been thoroughly tested with excellent results. Since the process downstream of the cracker is nearly the same regardless of the cracker selection, we anticipate minimal difficulty with the transition from the demonstration of Partial Oxidation to operating the unit in Pyrolysis mode.
