RTP Renewable Liquid Fuels Strategy
Fuels what we have today 20+ years industrial experience combusting RTP liquids Red Arrow, Wisconsin Manitowoc Public Utilities, Wisconsin Over 65 million litres delivered for process heat New: RTP Renewable Fuel Oil (RFO) Conditioned RTP liquid fuel for broad industrial use (ASTM Standard) For heat, replacing LFO and HFO in existing boilers For power, as a fuel for stationary diesels
RFO broad commercial demonstration Multiple commercial RFO demonstrations in an array of different boilers - Hosted at boiler sites of Ensyn s partners & customers Development of plug-and -play RFO fuel delivery system and burner nozzles Most recent Crane & Co. Inc., Byron Weston Power Plant facility, Dalton Massachusetts Honeywell-sponsored political and media event
RFO Crane & Co Demonstration Demonstrated in 15 MMBtu/h Boiler #1 at Crane s Byron Weston power plant (LFO, HFO and Nat Gas) 10,000 BTU/h steam (540G / 390 psig) RFO fuel delivery system supplied by Ensyn/Honeywell No changes to burner controls, nozzles, etc. Direct comparison with HFO (resid fuel oil) operations and emissions
RFO Crane & Co Demonstration
RFO Emissions Crane & Co FUEL EMISSIONS 1. FLOW RATES Oxygen SOx NOx Fuel Steam (vol%) (ppm) (ppm) (Mmbtu/h) (lb/h) HFO 6 401 256 12.8 6,400 RFO 6 0 154 15.0 9,704 1. CO emissions were about 70% lower with RFO, and are typically < 50 ppm
RFO Fuel Oil Applications RFO can be co-fired or used alone in conventional commercial and industrial boilers with little or no modifications A standardized RFO Combustion package developed to retrofit petroleum fuel oil boilers for 100% RFO use RFO combustion emissions compare favorably with fossil fuel Standardized RFO combustion test unit
RFO Power Generation Major alliance with a leading diesel engine manufacturer Successful trials of RTP RFO in large stationary diesels since mid 2010 Over 100,000 gallons of RTP RFO produced for engine tests Commercial availability targeted for Q3 2011 RTP + Diesel = significant efficiencies 21 ISO Tankers of RTP RFO produced and shipped for diesel tests 2 x the power output per unit biomass Projects in Italy & Malaysia based on the RTP + diesel configuration
RTP Renewable Transportation Fuels Major initiative with UOP - Production of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from RTP Liquids Drop-in solution products are indistinguishable from petroleum counterparts Success in UOP labs commercialization targeted for 2013 Current focus on scale-up, logistics, catalyst optimization Integrated Bio-Refinery, Hawaii, under construction, RTP + Upgrader, $25 MM DOE grant
Evolution: RTP Liquid Fuels Crude RTP liquids production Combustion of crude RTP liquids for drying and space heating Combustion of crude RTP liquids in utility and industrial boilers Combustion of conditioned RTP Renewable Heating Oil (RFO) in Industrial Heating and Power Applications Fully upgraded on-road Transportation Fuels 1989 1992 1997 2010 2013
