Renewable diesel pretreatment system
In the renewable fuel industry, ensuring feedstocks are free from contaminants is critical for maintaining catalyst efficiency in hydrotreating processes. Contaminants like phosphorus, polyethylene, and metals can severely impact the performance and longevity of catalytic systems.
Extends catalyst life and improves plant uptime
The RD Ready™ Pretreatment System by Crown Iron Works is designed to provide the cleanest feedstock for Renewable Diesel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) processing. The system’s advanced pretreatment process can handle various feedstocks, including virgin vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled waste streams. It effectively reduces contaminants, such as phosphorus and polyethylene, to industry-leading low levels. Proven to reduce phosphorus to less than 1 ppm in vegetable oil feedstocks and tallows, the system minimizes the wear and tear on hydrotreater catalysts. Additionally, its mechanical robustness ensures it can manage a wide array of feedstock contaminants, significantly boosting plant uptime and extending catalyst life up to two times.
Benefits
- Extends hydrotreater catalyst life up to 2 times
- Effectively reduces phosphorus to less than 1 ppm
- Handles various feedstocks including recycled waste streams
