Topsoe, a global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies, was selected by HF Sinclair as a technology provider for their production of renewable fuels at three facilities: Sinclair, Cheyenne, and Artesia. All three facilities have now successfully been put into operation and deliver renewable diesel into the United States transportation market.
These facilities utilize Topsoe’s HydroFlexTM technology for the conversion of waste and bio-feedstock into renewable diesel.
- HF Sinclair’s renewable diesel units in Sinclair, Wyoming, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Artesia, New Mexico are successfully producing renewable fuels.
- The renewable units in Cheyenne (6,000 BPD) and Sinclair (10,000 BPD) are from the conversion of crude oil refinery assets whereas the Artesia (9,000 BPD) renewable unit is a grassroots renewable facility.
- The renewable diesel at these HF Sinclair facilities is produced using Topsoe’s licensed HydroFlex
What is HydroFlex™
With HydroFlex™, customers can convert low-value feedstocks into drop-in renewable jet and diesel that meets all of the globally accepted specifications for these fuels. The innovative HydroFlex™ process layout offers lower capital expenditure (CAPEX), but also a lower energy consumption during operation, resulting in a lower Carbon Index (CI). Topsoe’s HydroFlex™ can be deployed in both grassroots units and revamps for co-processing or stand-alone applications. HydroFlex™ is by far the most successful renewable fuels technology globally.
