ExxonMobil Introduces EMRD™, a Renewable Diesel Process Technology to Enable High Yields from Bio-Feedstocks

Business Wire
ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing LLC (“ExxonMobil”) has
introduced ExxonMobil Renewable Diesel process technology (“EMRD”)
to help meet the evolving needs for mobility, while utilizing
renewable feedstock. This new process technology converts
feedstocks including, but not limited to, vegetable oils,
unconverted cooking oil and animal fats, into renewable diesel.
- Meets advanced cold-flow specifications, while enabling high
yields through use of the BIDW™ dewaxing catalyst technology
- Offers superior performance through a two-stage process versus
a one-stage process
The EMRD process is a two-stage process in which hydrotreating
and dewaxing are controlled separately. Compared to a single-stage
process, this approach provides higher diesel yields and superior
control. Additionally, the EMRD process provides the potential to
produce jet fuel as a secondary product with added
fractionation.
The EMRD process is an integrated solution that leverages
ExxonMobil’s Bio-Isomerization Dewaxing (BIDW™) catalyst. This
provides refiners and biofuel producers with powerful dewaxing in
both winter and summer modes. Improved yields were demonstrated
during testing of BIDW catalyst versus other internally formulated
zeolite-based alternatives.
“Choosing the right process technology is critical to producing
both renewable diesel and jet fuel from bio-feedstocks. The EMRD
process provides an advanced solution that enables high yields
while meeting stringent seasonal product specifications,” said
James Ritchie, president of ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing
LLC.
Due to significant interest in producing renewable jet fuel as a
primary product, ExxonMobil is also developing advanced catalyst
and process technology solutions that will offer EMRD process
licensees flexibility to tailor the amount of jet fuel versus
diesel produced.
