Description

PLACEHOLDER FOR AXENS ATOL® ETHANOL DEHYDRATIONTECHNOLOGY

ATOL® (2014): IFPEN/Axens/Total launched ATOL® technology in 2014 with ATO 201 catalyst claiming superior economics through simplified purification and high selectivity. Two fixed bed adiabatic reactors, operating at 400–500 °C, are used in this process which produces 50 000–400 000 t a−1 ethylene. As per Sep 2023 ATOL® commercial bulletin, there are 6 references in the United States, Japan, Brazil and South Korea for both polymer and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) applications as Atol® technology is also the first step of Jetanol™ process suite (Alcohol To Jet) for the conversion of renewable/low carbon alcohols into SAF.
