By Scott Kohl, PhD - Chief Technology Officer at VFTVisionary Fiber Technologies, Inc. (VFT) has developed a propriety Distillers Corn Oil (DCO) purification process, utilizing its Fiber Reactor (FR) technology.  The output DCO (clean DCO) is a new-to-market purity, absent of contaminants that cause catalyst fouling.  Technical performance of the technology is guaranteed.  There are…

Historically, purification processes used in the degumming and pretreatment of food oils and fuel production feedstocks required substantial factory footprint and a high degree of complexity. These antiquated processes suffer yield losses that accumulate with each consecutive unit operation with oil lost to neutralization soap stock, clays, activated silica, and DE. Furthermore, the cost of…

Also, three of VFT's senior staff members will be presenting on a range of innovative topics…

VFT has been awarded a CMI grant for a project that aims to enhance critical mineral separation for sustainable extraction.

Biofuels 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,…
