SULFUR POLISHING FOR LIGHT FEEDS

Reduce sulfur and nitrogen content in distillates and crudes to ultra-low levels, without hydrogen

Auterra’s FlexULS™ is a novel adsorption-based process that effectively treats any crude oil, distillate, or petrochemical stream containing sulfur levels below 1,000 ppm. Treated streams see sulfur reduction down to less than 10 ppm and a 25-60% reduction in nitrogen, with no saturation or oxidation of the stream.

FlexULS™ is a scalable, cost-effective desulfurization alternative for producing in-spec fuels

The FlexULS™ design includes fixed bed reactors with our proprietary adsorbent that separates impurities at ambient temperature, with no hydrogen required, and no induced pressure needed. The small physical footprint and low capital costs of FlexULS™ units make it an ideal solution for producers needing to meet ultra-low sulfur performance levels.

FLEXIBLE STREAM TREATMENT

Meet demanding ultra-low sulfur fuel specs with FlexULS™

Improve assay quality and reduce discounting by polishing feedstocks. Remove impurities without reliance on expensive, energy-intensive hydroprocessing

KEY APPLICATION: PIPELINE TRANSMIX

Auterra’s FlexULS™ technology is ideal for small volumes of feedstock, like pipeline transmix, to be effectively polished to improve out-of-spec sulfur levels.
