HEFA Technology

From waste feedstocks to flight-ready fuel โ€” our advanced HEFA process delivers the cleanest SAF at commercial scale.

How It Works

The SAF Production Process

Our six-stage process transforms sustainable feedstocks into ASTM-certified aviation fuel ready for commercial flight.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ
Step 01

Feedstock Collection

We source sustainable feedstocks including used cooking oil, animal fats, tall oil, and agricultural residues from certified suppliers worldwide.

๐Ÿงช
Step 02

Pre-Treatment

Raw feedstocks undergo degumming, bleaching, and filtration to remove impurities and prepare for the hydroprocessing stage.

โšก
Step 03

Hydroprocessing (HEFA)

Feedstocks react with hydrogen at high temperature and pressure, removing oxygen and converting triglycerides into paraffinic hydrocarbons.

๐Ÿ”ฌ
Step 04

Isomerization & Fractionation

The hydrocarbon stream is isomerized to improve cold-flow properties, then fractionated to isolate the jet fuel range (C8-C16).

โœ…
Step 05

Quality Assurance

Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for ASTM D7566 compliance, including thermal stability, freeze point, and combustion characteristics.

โœˆ๏ธ
Step 06

Blending & Distribution

Certified SAF is blended up to 50% with conventional jet fuel and distributed directly to airport fueling infrastructure.

Sustainable Inputs

Feedstocks

โ™ป๏ธ

Used Cooking Oil (UCO)

Collected from restaurants and food processors, diverting waste from landfills into clean fuel.

๐Ÿญ

Animal Fats & Tallow

By-products from the meat processing industry converted into high-energy aviation fuel.

๐ŸŒฟ

Algae

Fast-growing microalgae cultivated in non-arable land, offering high oil yields without competing for freshwater or food crops.
