FLEXIFORMING® FOR FT PROCESSORS
by Universal Fuel Technologies

Convert FT naphtha and LPG into aromatic SAF component
to blend with paraffinic FT SAF for 100% drop-in jet fuelTHE MOST EFFICIENT & PROFITABLE
PATHWAY FOR FT BYPRODUCTS
Upgrade renewable naphtha & LPG into sustainableaviation fuel (SAF) on site at a cost of only 50% more thanthe price of fossil jet fuel.

MAXIMIZEEFFICIENCY

2Upgrade low-value byproducts and enable direct sales
Flexiforming upgrades renewable low-octane naphtha and LPG by coprocessing withethanol or methanol into an aromatic SAF component. This allows FT producers to blend
it with paraffinic FT SAF on site, resulting in a finished product that can be sold directly toairlines and airports*, even co-mingled with fossil jet via common carrier pipelines andintermediate tankage.

Flexiforming’s integrated process design
minimizes energy duty

LOWER CAPEX &UTILITY COSTS

Key chemical reactions of Flexiforming occur in the same vessel with no gaseousintermediate products to compress or refrigerate.

3Flexiforming’s carbon cost of conversion is only 10%of Feedstock’s carbon intensity (CI)

LOW CARBON
INTENSITY

Flexiforming process gets all of its fuel gas from the feedstock, dramaticallyreducing the need for external energy.

WHY FLEXIFORMING?
Flexiforming aromatic SAF is an excellent andvaluable blendstock.
Can be blended with paraffinic SAF toproduce 100% drop-in, fully synthetic SAF*
Can be blended with fossil jet

Simple Process Lowers Costand Operating Complexity
Simple, inexpensive equipment;
catalyst contains no precious metals.

100% Drop-in SAF Ready*Works seamlessly with existing jet engines
and requires no additional airport infrastructure.

Flexiforming Process Flow (With FT Integration)

Flexiforming for SAF is a two-stage process that
integrates into existing FT plant infrastructure.
It works by dehydrating the alcohol, followed byoligomerization and alkylation of the naphtha intohigher molecular weight aromatics in the jet fuelboiling range. All of these reactions happen inone reactor vessel, optimizing heat transfer andreducing energy duty.

Integration withExisting Infrastructure
Flexiforming integrates seamlessly with existing
infrastructure, allowing for rapid deployment
and ability to scale, profitably producing ASTMcompliant* fuels from 200 BPD to 10k+ BPD.
