Product Overview

Overview

Raven SR is taking any organic waste and converting it into clean hydrogen and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch fuels through their patented Steam/CO2 Reforming process, which consist of the use steam and a chemical process - not combustion - to process mixed feedstock like biogenics, plastics and/or methane, into commercial products.

Business Model
  • Raven SR owns and operates all of their production facilities.

  • They also establish partnership agreements with interested parties.

  • In the future, the company is planning to explore licensing and royalty options.

Technology Innovations

The power and efficiency of Raven SR’s technology lies in its Steam/CO2 reforming process, created and patented by the late Dr. Terry Galloway.

Raven SR’s Steam/CO2 reforming process converts 100% of waste - processing multiple and mixed wastes into high quality synthetic gas. About 15% of feedstock is converted into a solid bio-carbon which can potentially be sold. This means Raven SR has a near 100% waste utilization potential.

Raven SR system does not allow free oxygen into the process. There is no combustion or catalysts in the process, so the feedstock is not burnt for heat but convert it into fuel.

Raven SR technology will:

  • Create clean, renewable fuels without combustion or catalysts.

  • Reduces multiple wastes streams - various waste streams can be processed together with no need to separate or dry the waste.

  • Reduces methane emissions and short-lived climate pollutants from landfills.

  • Do not use fresh water and less electricity (around a third) needed compared to other technologies.

  • Small footprint with modular and scalable units.

  • Health risk assessment shows health risks and air quality improvements.

  • Uses local waste to create local fuels, ensuring local energy security - indirect impact in reducing the cost for pipelines and long-distance transportation.

The process consist of:

Heating waste until it turns to synthetic gas, then separate the hydrogen from the carbon. It is then reformed into clean hydrogen or Fisher-Tropsch synthetic fuels, with excess carbon sequestered in a usable powder.

The power of steam gives Raven SR’s technology the ability to convert any carbonaceous feedstock into a synthetic gas that is 55-65% hydrogen – higher than most processes, including plasma arc gasification. This hydrogen-rich syn-gas produces higher quantities of fuels with fewer emissions compared with other technology.

  • Because its a non-combustion process, there is no production of NOX and SOX emissions.
Applications
  • Clean hydrogen can be used in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.

  • Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels for different industries.
