The countdown is officially on, with the new VFT office building's completion set for this winter!
read moreBiofuels offer a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel analogues and a path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants in the transportation sector. Unlike Petroleum-derived fuels, biofuels can be synthesized to have a narrow distribution of molecular weights in the mixture which impacts important properties, such as boiling point, viscosity, cetane number, density,…
read moreWhen John Kinzer was first introduced to the technology that would eventually become Visionary Fiber Technologies Inc., he admits that he didn't fully understand it. The Lockhart-based industrial-scale refining and material processing technology company was born out of patents developed by a chemist at Texas State University, who for years tried to commercialize them. When…
read moreVisionary Fiber Technologies, Inc. (“VFT”), a global leader in industrial separation and mixing technology, today announced that Pamela Martinson will join the company as Chief Legal Officer. In this role, Pam will advise the CEO and Board on all legal affairs including corporate governance matters, compliance, strategic transactions and dispute resolution. Pam comes to VFT…
read moreVFT's fiber reactors are the ideal choice for the removal of free fatty acids (FFAs), gums, metals, and waxes from crude vegetable oils. The patented process improves upon traditional methods for oil degumming and FFA removal. A single pass through a fiber reactor can reduce FFAs from over 15% to 0.1% and gums from 2.7%…
read moreIt takes energy to make energy. The Second Law of Thermodynamics teaches us that to create order from chaos requires energy inputs. The innovative design of Visionary Fiber Technologies’ Fiber Reactor technology creates a multi-phase environment that enables reactions to occur in an ideal state, where energy inputs are minimized. Minimal energy inputs reduce the…
read moreVFT's fiber reactor technology is ideal for refining various vegetable oils. Free fatty acids (FFAs), gums, and waxes in crude vegetable oils create problems for finished products. Our process removes these impurities for improved flavor, physical properties, and color. Continuous operation – our systems are fully automated and designed for continuous processing, enabling higher throughputs…
read moreVFT has begun to evaluate fiber reactor technology for the separation of nickel and cobalt from an acidic leach liquor representative of a lithium-ion battery recycling process. In preliminary experiments (Figure 2), a sulfate-based liquor with a total concentration of 1.0 g/L of cobalt and 1.0 g/L of nickel was stripped in a single pass…
read moreVFT, Inc has developed a cost-effective fiber reactor extraction process to remove iron impurity from feedstocks. A chloride based Pregnant Leach Solution with a total rare earth content of 89.2 g/L and a total iron impurity 560 mg/L was stripped of 99.8% iron contaminant after a single stage using solvent extraction (Figure 3). Losses of…
read moreVFT has developed a cost-effective fiber reactor purification process to prepare superior quality renewable fuel feedstocks (Figure 2). The Fiber Reactor renewable fuels package incorporates microchanel fiber reactors which effectively remove free fatty acids, metals, phospholipides chlorides and other water soluble groups to the specified targeted levels. As renewable fuel feedstock demand surges, waste fats…
