Siemens and CAPHENIA accelerate scale-up of Sustainable Aviation Fuel
CAPHENIA’s technology uses a plasma process
to split bio-methane into synthesis gas at temperatures of around 1,500 degrees
Celsius. CAPHENIA’s Plasma Boudouard Reactor is a globally unique 3-in-1 zone
reactor that integrates three established chemical reactions in one system. The
resulting synthesis gas can then be further processed into SAF, renewable
diesel, or chemical products – without by-products and with minimal energy
losses.
A key
advantage: the heat released when cooling the synthesis gas is used to preheat
the incoming bio-methane. This results in a process efficiency of more than 86
percent, representing significantly higher energy efficiency than is possible
with conventional methods.
Under the
agreement, Siemens becomes CAPHENIA’s preferred supplier and technology
partner, offering comprehensive solutions from its Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio, including process control systems, drive technology, measurement
technology, and process simulation software. Digital twins will make it possible
to optimize operating parameters before physical commissioning and to manage
processes consistently across different sites.
