Rentech Process

The Rentech Process is a proprietary technology that, together with gasification and upgrading technologies, converts synthesis gas from biomass and fossil resources into hydrocarbons that are subsequently processed and upgraded into ultra-clean synthetic fuels and specialty waxes and chemicals. Our process can also be combined with our Rentech-SilvaGas biomass gasifier to produce renewable power.

Our technology is environmentally sound and enables the production of ultra-clean synthetic fuels, waxes, chemicals, and power from a wide variety of biomass and fossil feedstocks.

The Rentech Process is based on Fischer-Tropsch chemistry. For nearly 30 years, we have been perfecting this process with reproducible results. Much of the original technology has been improved by Rentech, including catalyst composition, reactor design and design parameters of synthetic fuels and chemicals facilities. These enhancements have improved the quality and yields of products produced as well as the operating efficiency of the facilities.
