Jeff McDaniel – Director of Business Development, Velocys Inc. |
|
|
Velocys is developing processing systems that provide energy and chemical companies with substantial cost savings, improved product yields, and greater energy efficiencies. Velocys chemical processors are characterized by parallel arrays of microchannels; processes are intensified by decreasing transfer resistances between process fluids and channel walls. Systems in development, include Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for biomass-to-liquids (BTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL), including compact units for offshore facilities, low cost hydrogen production using steam methane reforming, high intensity oxidation and partial oxidation reactors that improve the selectivity and yield of the ethylene production process and high performance emulsification processes. |
