NextChem to conduct a feasibility study for a 60,000-tpy SAF plant in Indonesia
- NEXTCHEM will evaluate the optimal design and plant configuration for a 60,000-tpy SAF production facility based on its proprietary technologies
- NEXTCHEM will offer an integrated end-to-end solution combining NX PTUTM and NX SAF™ BIO proprietary technologies
MAIRE announced that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions) has been awarded a feasibility study, along with PT Tripatra Engineers and Constructors, for a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project located in Sei Mangkei, Indonesia.
The agreement includes the joint development of a small-scale modular SAF plant. The facility will be fed by regionally sourced feedstock, such as used cooking oil and palm oil mill effluent, with a production capacity of 60,000 tpy.
The first step of the collaboration envisages a feasibility study to evaluate the optimal design and configuration for the plant, based on NEXTCHEM’s proprietary technologies.
NEXTCHEM offers a fully integrated package which includes the NX PTU™ technology, the hydrogen production unit, and the NX SAFTM Bio technology, an hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) proprietary process for a complete and smooth project deployment for SAF production. This process uses 2nd generation vegetable oils and residual fats, which are pre-treated through the NX PTU™ technology. The purified feedstock is then refined into SAF using hydrogen through NX SAFTM BIO technology, which allows to produce an ultra-low carbon SAF able to reduce aviation emissions by up to 95% compared with the use of fossil fuels. The high-level of standardization, coupled with a modular and compact design of the technology, allows a fast project execution and makes it ideal for small-scale plants in any geographies.
