Classification Information

Advanced coal processing technology BeneficiationPlus is a unique coal processing technology that upgrades coal and, in parallel, produces clean streams of high-value hydrocarbons, water and pipeline-grade CO2. Simply put, BeneficiationPlus is to coal what oil refining is to crude oil - it fractions feedstock and aligns each output component with the highest value off-taker. The ideal feedstock for this technology is lignite and sub-bituminous coals, as they can provide highest yield of hydrocarbons, such as C1 to C12 with minimal impurities, and achieve the highest upgrade of BTU per ton. Compared to existing technologies, BeneficiationPlus is more than traditional coal upgrading, but it is not coal gasification nor is it coal liquifaction. Thanks to the elegant technical design of the solution, only a portion of coal is converted to hydrocarbons, leaving the balance as upgraded coal. As a result, capital requirements for the technology are relatively modest, and multiple high-value outputs result in a payback between 3 to 5 years
