Energy Absolute licenses Sulzer Chemtech tech to enhance HVO production

In Thailand, Energy Absolute, one of the biggest companies in Thailand for renewable energy supply, has signed a license agreement with Sulzer Chemtech (GTC Technology). The new technology provided by Sulzer Chemtech will enhance the quality of the renewable diesel, or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to meet the regulations on diesel use in cold, wintery conditions in North America and Europe and also additionally produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

To meet this goal, the facility in Map Ta Phut, which currently features an annual capacity of 43,000 metric tons, will utilize the proprietary BioFlux® process technology offered by Sulzer Chemtech in cooperation with Duke Technologies. The BioFlux® process, developed by Duke Technologies LLC and licensed by Sulzer Chemtech globally converts various pretreated feedstocks to either HVO or SAF with maximum flexibility in the specific ratios of end products.
