For Oil Refiners
Your idle NHT is costing you $10M* a year in lost revenue
UNIT ECONOMICS
Economics at a Glance
*Based on 120k tpa (3,000 bpd) converted NHT or catalytic
reformer. All economics to be confirmed for a specific
location and configuration.
Phased deployment
Three Steps: Revenue Today, SAF-Ready Tomorrow
01
Deploy now
Naphtha + Ethanol → Gasoline
Deploy Flexiforming in your existing idle NHT or HP reformer.
Co-feed ethanol with naphtha, focusing on cheaper low-grade
naphthas. Produce high-octane semi-renewable gasoline.
Claim environmental credits if available.
02
Lower carbon intensity
Add HEFA Naphtha
Introduce HEFA naphtha as co-feed or use the HEFA naphtha instead of the fossil one, reducing carbon
intensity and qualifying for additional environmental
credits.
03
When ASTM-ready
HEFA Naphtha + Ethanol → SAF
Add a reactor and adjust process conditions to produce
SAF. Same catalyst, same core equipment, a significantly
more profitable product slate.
Fits your plant
Integrates Into Existing Infrastructure
Uses Idle Equipment
Can be deployed in existing naphtha hydrotreaters (NHT) and
catalytic reformers (CRU) that are underutilized or idle.
No greenfield construction.
Minimal Modifications
Piping changes and new catalyst loading. Total investment
can be as low as $15M for a 3,000 bpd (120k tpa) unit. Easier
permitting than a new build.
Net Hydrogen Producer
Flexiforming can be a net producer of hydrogen — an
additional saving or revenue stream. With renewable
feeds, the hydrogen is "green", valued at $5/kg or higher.
