    CleanAim® WTL (waste-to-liquid) is a sustainable, low-emission solution that can produce liquid paraffinic fuels such as diesel, gasoline, SAF, and wax from solid wastes and biomass.

    • Solid waste or biomass as feedstock
    • Producing SAF as the main product
    • Efficient, sustainable, energy optimized with low emissions
    • Can operate in synergy with other processes
    • Integrates carbon capture technologies

    CleanAim® WTL can operate in synergy with other processes that produce CO2 as a byproduct and use that waste CO2 as secondary feedstock by installing additional carbon capture modules into CleanAim® WTL.

    CleanAim® WTL is a solution designed to produce high-quality liquid paraffinic fuels from carbon-rich solid materials such as solid waste from different sources and biomass.

    CleanAim® WTL can simultaneously produce gasoline, SAF, diesel, and Wax. Likewise, it can be configured and optimized to primarily produce the fuel that is of most commercial interest.

    CleanAim® WTL is a sustainable solution that can operate in synergy with other processes that produce CO2 as a byproduct when additional carbon capture modules are installed into the plant.

     

    CleanAim® WTL is a sustainable technology that uses solid waste as feedstock to produce sustainable liquid fuels. It is similar to our CleanAim® GTL solution but uses a different feedstock and part of the process is integrated by different systems.

    • Sustainable, comprehensive, and environmentally friendly technology
    • Solid waste as the main feedstock
    • Can operate in synergy with other CO2-producing plants

    Waste CO2 discarded by other processes can be used as a secondary feedstock.

    The solid waste feedstock must meet the criteria of being renewable or sustainable and a material that would otherwise be disposed of in a landfill.

    Potential feedstocks are:

    • Municipal waste
    • Agricultural residues
    • Forestry residues
    • Biomass residues

    CleanAim® WTL is fed with carbon-rich solid residues, which are transformed into synthesis gas and subsequently into liquid hydrocarbons. The CleanAim® WTL process chain consists of a series of catalytic reactors in which the chemical transformations necessary to obtain the desired products occur.

    CleanAim® WTL consists of the following main systems:

    • Gasification system
    • Fischer-Tropsch catalytic synthesis system
    • Refining, hydrotreating, and separation systems
    • Control and safety systems, and auxiliary services

    CleanAim® WTL is a versatile, scalable, and environmentally friendly solution.

    The CleanAim® WTL configuration can be optimized from plant design and construction to produce specific fuels based on current market conditions.

    The SAF produced by CleanAim® WTL meets the quality parameters of ASTM D7566.

    CleanAim® WTL is integrated with modular and scalable systems.

    CleanAim® WTL can be customized to use CO2 as secondary feedstock to produce liquid hydrocarbons.

    CleanAim® WTL integrates carbon capture technologies.

    CleanAim® WTL can be customized to operate in synergy with other processes that produce CO2 as a waste byproduct.

    CleanAim® WTL features reliable, robust, and long-life technology.

     

    CleanAim® WTL integrates carbon capture technologies and can be customized to operate in synergy with other processes that produce CO2 as waste. Carbon-rich solid residues and CO2 are transformed by thermal and catalytic processes into synthesis gas and subsequently into liquid hydrocarbons.

    The SAF produced by CleanAim® WTL can be blended up to a maximum of 50% with conventional jet fuel to produce Jet-A or Jet-A1 fuel, which can be used in commercial aircraft.
