US group selects its technology partners for its major sustainable aviation fuel project

US clean fuels company DG Fuels has selected a technology, jointly developed by UK multinational advanced metals chemistry and sustainable technologies group Johnson Matthey and UK multinational energy group bp, for its first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant. The technology uses the Fischer Tropsch (FT) process and is called FT CANS. “Unlike slurry reactors, the Johnson Matthey DAVY/bp fixed-bed FT CANS reactor has no moving parts and requires no continuous catalyst addition or separation,” explains Johnson Matthey, on its website. “Instead, the proprietary bp catalyst runs at constant conditions and delivers a high-purity product that is easy to upgrade. All these factors amount to a simple and robust process with a high level of reliability and product quality.”
