TECHNOLOGY
CATALYTIC
DEPOLYMERIZATION
OF BIOMASS

Our technology enables the conversion of biomass into bio-oil

The technology used by the Ekotrend plant is known as catalytic pressure less depolymerization. The main raw material used in the process is biomass, but it is possible to produce fuel from brown coal or plastics. The difference between a standard biofuels plant and our facility is that the substrate does not come from the food chain.

The low temperature of the process  and special type of the catalyst cause that the process is friendly for the environment and the quality of produced fuel is much better than pyrolytic oil. The produced fuel is closer to that of regular diesel (EN 590) according to key parameters and distillation curve.
