KLIMAKRAFT research project:
treatment of sump
Refineries oil and gas
OUR CUSTOMER
The X-Energy impulse project KLIMAKRAFT of HAW Hamburg is a pioneering research project dedicated to climate protection and the future of mobility. Its focus is on the development and optimization of an innovative process for the conversion of used fats into drop-in fuels, whereby our filters are used as part of the sump treatment.
The filtration task
Treatment of
sump/process residues from the conversion of used
fats into drop-in
fuels
In order to meet the filtration requirements for this project, we designed a slot-type filter for these special requirements. With this process, used fats are thermally cracked and deoxygenated. Depending on how the reactor system is operated, carbonaceous solids are produced which must be removed from the reactor system. We have therefore decided to pass the reactor contents through the FAUDI slot-type filter by means of a bypass system. In our slot-type filter, the solids in the suspension (sump) are concentrated and discharged, while the liquid components (sump oil) are fed back into the reactor.

Advantages with the FAUDI solution
Circular economy
Processing the product sump with our slot-type filter leads to optimum recycling and helps to make waste-based fuels available for mobility.
Customized design
The slot-type filter was designed, manufactured and assembled as a pilot system individually according to the requirements of the research team and the extreme operating conditions.
Automatic filtration
Automatic filtration enables continuous and precise filtration. This leads to higher system availability and reduces maintenance requirements, which ultimately lowers operating costs.
What our customers say
As part of our research project, we had precise requirements for the pilot plant for sump treatment. FAUDI was able to implement these requirements very well and always provided us with competent advice.
