Hybrid MCT / HSBH, suspended-bed and fixed-bed schemes for SAF and renewable diesel production.

Process engineering

MCT, suspended-bed and fixed-bed technologies.

HXELAB develops and deploys industrial hydrogenation and hydroprocessing schemes for SAF and renewable diesel production.

01

Suspended-bed hydrogenation

HSBH / MCT configurations designed for challenging feedstock profiles and stable operating cycles.

02

Fixed-bed upgrading

Hydrotreating, hydrocracking and isomerization units for product finishing and specification compliance.

03

Hybrid schemes

Integrated process architecture adapted to feedstock quality, hydrogen availability and product targets.

Why MCT / HSBH

Designed for wider feedstock tolerance.

  • High tolerance to oxygen, acidity, metals and contaminants.
  • Processing of degraded and advanced feedstocks.
  • Stable pressure drop and long operating cycles.
  • Reduced pretreatment requirements compared with fixed-bed-only HEFA schemes.

Engineering scope

  • Process configuration and technology selection.
  • Integration of suspended-bed and fixed-bed units.
  • Hydrogen management and energy integration.
  • Feedstock pretreatment strategy definition.
  • Debottlenecking and refinery upgrade studies.
