Technology
The most critical component of the Rentech Process is our proprietary iron-based Rentech catalyst, which drives the Rentech Process in our reactor. Rentech is the only United States based company that uses an iron-based catalyst to produce synthetic transportation fuels and chemicals. There are multiple global opportunities for deploying Rentech's iron-based catalyst as it performs well with a wide range of syngas compositions from a variety of feedstocks. In addition, the ingredients of our proprietary iron-based catalyst are relatively inexpensive and more economical to use than competing catalysts. Rentech's catalyst is also non-toxic and does not require hazardous disposal handling.
Well-known and highly regarded catalyst vendors have produced thousands of pounds of our iron-based Rentech catalyst for various pilot and commercial synthetic fuels and chemicals projects.
