Clariant indicators MOU with DS Dansuk on Tonsil™ RNF manufacturing for HVO / Sustainable Aviation Gas.
Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical firm, immediately hosted a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) signing ceremony with its buyer DS Dansuk at its Pohang manufacturing web site in Korea to mark the commissioning of its Tonsil RNF sequence of excessive performing adsorbent that performs a pivotal function within the efficient manufacturing and the wanted ramp up of HVO(Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil)/SAF(Sustainable Aviation Gas) from used cooking oil (UCO). The transfer additional demonstrates Clariant’s dedication to the Korea and Asia Pacific market, the place sustainable options are below enormous demand.
The Asia Pacific area is witnessing a surge in HVO/SAF curiosity, pushed by environmental issues and regulatory mandates. The market more and more calls for applied sciences supporting SAF manufacturing, akin to specialised adsorbents and catalysts. Because the aviation business shifts in direction of greener fuels, there’s a rising deal with creating modern options to fulfill future HVO/SAF manufacturing and utilization necessities throughout the area.
Seong-Wan Park Clariant’s Head of Exploration APAC, Adsorbents APAC, stated:
I’m actually excited to signify Clariant as we embark on an necessary partnership with a forward-thinking buyer like DS Dansuk immediately, as we put pen to paper behind the manufacturing of the Tonsil RNF sequence of adsorbents and filter aids at our Pohang web site.
“I strongly consider that our state-of-the-art expertise and robust experiences in producing the sequence will assist overcome most of the challenges confronted with SAF manufacturing immediately,”
As a excessive performing adsorbent used within the pre-treatment technique of UCO, the Tonsil RNF sequence combines with Clariant’s main applied sciences, manufacturing processes and mine sources to supply prospects in renewable fuels manufacturing excellent high quality bleaching earth. The high-performing adsorbents are indispensable within the removing of contaminants akin to catalyst-poisoning metals, soaps and sugar from oils and fat throughout pretreatment and remaining gasoline polish, making the purification course of further dependable.
Jong-wan Kim, co-CEO of DS Dansuk who attended the MOU signing ceremony, stated:
As everyone knows, Clariant is a forerunner in providing sustainable specialty chemical options to assist prospects like us do our job higher.
“Primarily based on experiences and success in pre-treatment processes achieved by Clariant’s different websites in Europe and Indonesia, I’ve full confidence that commissioning of Tonsil RNF manufacturing right here will play an enormous half in contributing to the ramp up of HVO/SAF manufacturing in Korea,”
Commissioning of manufacturing of Tonsil RNF on the Pohang web site will see the primary batch of merchandise prepared by as early as October 2024. With the product’s mixture of sturdy binding energy and excessive adjustability, it can supply the pre-treatment sector in Asia Pacific the much-needed flexibility and efficiency within the purification course of, thus serving to to contribute to CO2 emissions discount in aviation within the area.
