Enlighten’s DSU® technology (powered by NaSICON) is a disruptive new process for reducing sulphur and metals in heavy oils to make clean, low-sulphur fuel oil for the marine market.
Why DSU®?
Processes bottom-of-the barrel feedstocks
DSU® can process a wide range of heavy, high sulphur and metal feedstocks with ease.
High product yield
The DSU® process has high yields (over 95%) that exceed those of coking processes. Plus, energy density is retained – ideal for low sulphur fuel oil markets.
Removes difficult sulphur species
DSU® removes sulphur from deeply hydroprocessed residues, with preferential removal of asphaltene sulphur – a typical challenge for conventional residue hydrotreating.
Low environmental footprint
The DSU® process has low direct emissions. The majority of the emissions are indirect and related to the power source.
DSU® in action
Cleaning up our oceans
DSU® technology has been de-risked and is moving towards commercialization with the CleanSeas demonstration project. The CleanSeas plant will use the low emissions DSU® process to create clean, low-sulphur fuel oil that can meet and even exceed the new IMO 2020 marine fuel standards.
We are looking for prospective investors, customers and commercial partners with relevant sector experience that can help us transform the energy industry.
