Microchannel Fischer-Tropsch reactor

Compact, factory-built reactor cores that intensify Fischer-Tropsch heat management, letting FT plants be sized to a single waste or biogas site rather than requiring giant gas-to-liquids scale, such as Velocys's AlphaCore line.

Where it's used

Gasification & Fischer-Tropsch sustainable aviation fuel
Municipal solid waste, forestry residue and captured biogas are gasified into syngas and built up into jet-range hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis — a thermochemical pathway distinct from the HEFA and alcohol-to-jet routes that dominate today's certified SAF supply, with 2026 commercial-stage projects in the UK, South Africa-licensed technology and a first US biogas-to-jet pilot.
