Summary
Honeywell will supply its modular Ecofining process technology, along with specialized pumps, compressors, and integrated control and safety systems, to Acelen Renewables’ greenfield project in Bahia, Brazil, enabling production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. The partnership targets surging SAF demand, which is projected to approach 500,000 barrels per day over the next decade, and underscores refiners’ shift to scalable solutions.

What do you see as the biggest hurdle to scaling SAF in Brazil—feedstock availability, project financing, or technology deployment?

Honeywell (Charlotte, N.C.) announced that its modular Ecofining™ process technology, specialized pumps, compressors, and integrated control and safety systems will help drive sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel production for Acelen Renewables’ greenfield site in Bahia, Brazil. With SAF demand projected to increase to nearly 500,000 barrels per day over the next decade, refiners […]

Curious what feedstock slate Acelen is targeting in Bahia - soy, macaúba, UCO, or tallow - and whether the Ecofining train is rated for high-FFA feeds without rapid catalyst deactivation. Also, what’s the hydrogen plan and heat-integration strategy (recycle compressor sizing, offgas recovery), since H2 supply and energy balance will drive both CI and opex?

Modular is fine until FFA, soaps, and methanol slip past pretreat; then your hot oil pumps and H2 recirc compressor seals pay the price. What metallurgy and seal plans are spec’d (duplex/Alloy 825, Plan 32 or 52) and did the “integrated” control actually include alarm rationalization and proof-test intervals, or is that on the plant? Also, I hope feed is interlocked on coalescer DP and chloride guard bed breakthrough.
