CleanAim® WTL
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.
