PXR
A Game-Changer in Renewable Fuel
A Game-Changer in Renewable Fuel
PXR is a transformative technology poised to revolutionize the renewable energy landscape. This cutting-edge innovation harnesses various feedstocks, effectively converting them into clean and efficient fuel. PXR leads in renewable energy innovation, offering cost-effective, sustainable solutions for a cleaner future.
Revolutionizing Diesel Fuel Production
PXR, our cutting-edge machine process, offers a revolutionary approach to diesel fuel production. It’s designed to transform various petrochemical waste feedstocks (used motor oil, used lube oil, industrial solvents, tar, transmix, fracking waste oil, waste oil pumped out of tanks, etc.) in combination with highly contaminated renewable feedstocks (brown grease, animal fats) and seed oils (virgin or used), into clean, diesel fuel. With its adaptability, PXR can process the most cost-effective, available, or highly subsidized feedstock at any given time.
Scalable Concept
Effective Contaminant Removal and Sulfur Reduction
A PXR system can produce approx. 7.2 Million gallons of fuel annually. Propulsion X can produce on-site for large users at lower cost than traditional diesel and with extreme environmental benefits. The PXR system is scalable to the user’s supply of feedstock.
PXR employs a combination of filtration, enclosed distillation, and chemical techniques to eliminate contaminants and significantly reduce sulfur levels. Notably, our technology achieves unmatched sulfur reduction compared to any other process on the globe, reducing levels from as high as 3,000ppm in waste engine oils to single digits.
Turnkey PXR System
Operating PXR is user-friendly, safe, and environmentally responsible, as it releases no emissions into the air or water – contaminants accumulate in the filters for proper disposal. The yield from the feedstock is nearly 100%, with captured contaminants accounting for only a minimal fraction of the volume.
Validation
A lab report and opacity meter test showcase the feasibility of producing fuel from used motor oil. This test was conducted prior to the introduction of Soot X and our fuel lab reports show single digit sulfur levels from starting points as high as 3,000 ppm. Many other good qualities of the fuel are shown in the report such as good cold flow properties and minimal ash or other contaminants. Opacity meter readings out of vehicles running on this fuel come in at 0.5% – essentially undetectable emissions and lower than hydrid electric vehicles at 0.62%.
Transition to Renewable Diesel
As major oil companies transition to seed oil-based renewable diesel refining due to government pressure, certain challenges emerge. These challenges include:
- Food vs. Fuel Competition: The shift sets up competition between food and fuel resources, potentially stoking inflation in both commodities.
- Limited Refining Capacity: Renewable refineries operate at only 10% to 50% capacity compared to traditional refineries, leading to a decline in overall U.S. refining capacity.
- Dependency on Foreign Sources: With no new U.S. oil refineries being built, the nation’s dependence on foreign refined fuels increases.
Solution: Small scale PXR fuel manufacturing facilities working from the lowest cost and most abundant feedstocks solve all of these societal energy problems.
