Rentech Produces Synthetic Fuels Exceeding Quality Expectations at the Only Operating Synthetic Transportation Fuels Facility in the US
Oct 30, 2008 - Rentech, Inc. (AMEX: RTK) announced the successful completion of the first full production run at the Company’s Product Demonstration Unit (PDU) in Commerce City, CO.
Thousands of gallons of ultra-clean synthetic fuels and specialty chemicals were produced during the nearly 800-hour continuous production run at the facility. A variety of synthetic fuels were produced, including military jet fuel, commercial Jet A and Jet A-1 and ultra-low sulfur diesel, all of which met or exceeded applicable specifications. Rentech has shipped these fuels as well as specialty chemicals for testing to potential customers, including the US Air Force.
The commissioning phase of the PDU is now complete and the facility has demonstrated steady-state production at full design capacity. Rentech will be conducting a thorough analysis of the substantial amount of data gathered during this run. Modifications to the facility’s design and operational parameters to further improve the productivity of the facility may be made based on these results in preparation for the next production run.
Rentech’s PDU is the only operating synthetic transportation fuels facility in the USA. The facility is designed to produce approximately 420 gallons/day of synthetic jet and diesel fuels and specialty chemicals and demonstrates the successful design, construction and operation of a fully-integrated synthetic fuels facility utilizing the Rentech Process.
