Seaboard Energy choses Topsoe’s technology to produce renewable diesel

Topsoe will supply basic engineering, proprietary equipment, catalyst, and technical services for Seaboard Energy’s renewable fuels complex in Kansas.
The project in Hugoton is based on HydroFlex, an industry-proven technology to produce renewable fuels from a wide variety of renewable feedstocks.
Gary Louis, president and CEO of Seaboard Energy, said: “We chose Topsoe after a very thorough investigation into the technologies available in the market. Topsoe’s solution does not only promise the highest yield - it was also the least complicated and most efficient to implement.
“The fact that Topsoe can deliver the integrated hydrogen unit along with the hydroprocessing unit was important for us as well. Finally, our visit to Topsoe’s R&D facilities emphasized to us that we are working with a world-leader in the field.”
Henrik Rasmussen, managing director, The Americas, Haldor Topsoe Inc, added: “We are very proud that Seaboard Energy has chosen HydroFlex and H2bridge for their strategic expansion into renewable diesel. Seaboard is an impressive organization with businesses in many different industries. We look forward to starting up this plant with our friends from Seaboard.”
With HydroFlex, customers can convert low value feedstocks to renewable fuels that qualify for the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credit.
The innovative process layout offers lower capital expenditure (CAPEX), but also a lower energy consumption during operation, resulting in a lower carbon index (CI).
Topsoe’s HydroFlex can be deployed in both grassroots units and revamps for co-processing or stand-alone applications.
