Key Principles
Unique dry, low temperature and low pressure thermo-kinetic process using preheated
mineral particles as heat carriers. Upgrades oil from 8 API to 29 API in one operation. |

Key Benefits
- Low capital cost: “investments per barrel per day” at USD 10.000 which is about 1/5 compared with a conventional upgrader
- Low energy consumption due to low process temperature
- Low operating cost: 3-5 USD per barrel
- Self supplied with energy: using the generated coke in the heavy oil as fuel
- Substantial reduction of CO2, Sulfur and heavy metals
- The plant can be located and upgrade the heavy oil on the oil field - therefore no need for diluents to be transported
- The oil can be routed directly to a refinery
- Increase the value of oil with 25-30 USD per barrel by upgrading bitumen heavy oil from 8 API to 29 API
