SUSA Corporation manufactures hydrothermal liquefaction equipment to superheat water to chemically convert organic material into fuel products.
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), also referred to as hydrous pyrolysis, requires a thermochemical depolymerisation process in an enclosed reactor to convert wet organic material into bio crude fuel, oil, and or other chemicals. Our process uses moderate temperatures (typically 250-750°). For difficult depolymerisation, ultra-high pressure vessels are used (10-25 mpa). Our SUSA Model HTL-18-GD will produce 18 GPH of clean bio crude oil and fuel products. Our largest HTL system can produce 400 GPH.
