Renewable diesel pretreatment system

Extend hydrotreater catalyst life and boost plant uptime by optimizing feedstock purity with advanced contaminant removal solutions tailored for renewable diesel production.

Removes Contaminants from Diverse Feedstocks

The RD Ready™ Pretreatment System from Crown Iron Works offers an innovative solution for biofuel and renewable diesel producers. This system excels in contaminant removal, extending hydrotreater catalyst life by up to two times. It efficiently processes a wide variety of feedstocks, including virgin vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled waste streams, to produce high-quality renewable diesel, HVO, and SAF. The system features a robust multi-stage filtration process and is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, operating continuously with high throughput. Its PLC-controlled automation allows for minimal operator intervention, enhancing productivity. Built to withstand harsh operating conditions, the system is available in corrosion-resistant materials and can be customized to meet API standards and specific industry requirements, ensuring compliance and longevity. Additional features include energy-efficient operations and ease of maintenance, thanks to its user-friendly design and support for clean-in-place (CIP) protocols.

Benefits

  • Extends catalyst life by up to two times, reducing replacement costs.
  • Minimizes production downtime with continuous, high-throughput operation.
  • Enhances energy efficiency with optimized variable-speed controls.
  • Complies with industry standards for diverse biofuel applications.
