THE PROBLEM is the ever-increasing burden on the environment. Especially in poorer countries, there is an urgency to deal with the ever-increasing waste problem. Efforts to dateto develop technology capable of efficiently and economically solving the increasing problems with waste in the oceans and on land have failed because of the high costs involved.
EFFICIENT APPROACH would be to treat the various waste fractions by recycling and, in particular, recovering the hydrocarbons from the waste products.
CHALLENGE is to find a solution that solves the problem but is profitable at the same time
OUR SOLUTION is sustainable and profitable, a win-win situation for the environment and industry. A technology that converts household and industrial waste as well as biomass into synthetic diesel or synthetic kerosene. Our solution is so efficient that one ton of feedstock produces up to 500 liters of diesel or kerosene.
The technology in broad outline
THE TECHNOLOGY is a third-generation BTL (biomass-to-liquid) process, i.e., an limitation of nature. Feedstock is mixed with carrier oil and catalyst at around 200°C in the pre-process. In the following main process, a chemical-physical reaction at approx.280°C-340°C shortens the molecular chains to produce diesel or kerosene.
In a short post-process with desulfurization, the products are adapted to the current EN590/ASTM7655 standards.
THE ECONOMICITY of the solution is highly attractive based on our experience. The selling price is more than competitive despite the current market prices. The energy efficiency is between 50-80%, depending on the composition of the input material.
THE PRODUCT is a pure “Synthetic Diesel” or a pure “Synthetic Kerosene”, which has an unlimited shelf life without additives. Mixing with fossil diesel is possible, but not necessary.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: Neutral carbon footprint, recycling of all valuable materials, residual 5% “Class2”, non-toxic.
The Technology in Details
HSCD (High Speed Catalytic Depolymerization) a chemo-technical imitation of nature’s process to convert all organic matter into crude oil.
The main difference is the acceleration of natures process from millions of years to only 30 Minutes..
By using 100% crystalline catalysts instead of minerals contained in soil By raising the temperature to 280°C instead ofnature’s 14°C –17°C By creating an optimized and controlled environment in the HSCD plant
The Final Product is a Synthetic Diesel of High Quality Meeting the Current Norms EN 590 & ASTM 7566
Imitation of the nature
Unique Selling Proposition
Neutral CO2 balance
The CO2 absorbed by the biomass during growth is released to a small extent during the process. This ensures a neutral balance.
No emissions
The closed cycle does not emit any emissions.
No hazardous by-products
Due to the relatively low temperatures of max. 340°C, neither dioxins nor furans are formed.
No high process pressures
The process operates at a vacuum of around -0.04 bar and ensures safe plant operation.
High energy recovery
Up to 80% of the energy contained can be recovered. One ton of dried wood or biomass yields approx. 300 liters of diesel One ton of dried household waste yields approx. 500 liters of diesel

KEY DATA AT-HSCD 5000
AT-HSCD 5000 with minimum 5000 liters/hour @ 8’000 hours/year
Projected output is 40 Mio. Liters/year
The Plant includes post treatment (Filtration, Desulfurization, Hydrogenation)
The sales price of the synthetic kerosene is set at 1.20 EUR/liter
Manufacturing of the plant will start in Year 1
Plant will partially start the production in Year 2 with 2.500 hours per year
At the end of Year 2 the Plant will be fully installed and implemented at the site
Plant will fully operate from the Year 3 with 8.000 hours per year
Year 3 is thus the first Year of the full production “Start of Operation of the Plant
