Honeywell’s UOP receives “Biofuels Digest Company of the Year Award” for Achievement in Processing Technology

[BIOFUELS DIGEST NEWSWIRE] In Miami, Biofuels Digest announced that Honeywell unit UOP has received the “Biofuels Digest Company of the Year Award” for Achievement in Processing Technology.

The award was given in recognition of the company’s significant licensing activity this year for its hydroprocessing technology, utilized in converting renewable oils into renewable jet fuel.

“Though UOP has long been a leading supplier to oil refineries,” said Biofuels Digest editor Jim Lane, “they have clearly set a new standard in bringing advanced biofuels to the next level with their hydroprocessing technology, which has provided fuel for a number of flight tests by commercial airlines and the military over the past two years.

“In a tough year marked by financing delays, advanced biofuels for aviation have moved forward at a remarkably steady pace. UOP’s technology has proven to be an enabler of breakthroughs against the odds. That’s proven to be the winning formula in the marketplace as well as in these awards,” Lane added.

Last year’s award was given to POET, in recognition of achieving high yields and reduced energy inputs in ethanol production through its BPX technology.
