Petro-SIM® with FTR-SIM is KBC’s purpose-built Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactor model designed to fast-track the development, optimization, and commercialization of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from biomass, waste, or captured CO₂.
FTR-SIM enables rigorous, end-to-end modeling of FT-based fuel pathways, allowing refiners and technology developers to:
- Evaluate biomass-to-liquids and CO₂-to-fuels routes in a fully integrated process environment
- Optimize syngas composition, H₂/CO ratio, and operating conditions to maximize fuel yields
- Customize reactor design with kinetic tuning and catalyst-specific performance parameters
- Simulate downstream upgrading and integration with refinery units for full SAF lifecycle analysis
- Extend simulation to downstream processing of the produced liquid fuels via the comprehensive suite of refinery reactor and fractionation models in Petro-SIM
Combining Petro-SIM with FTR-SIM empowers users to accelerate the commercialization of net-zero fuel technologies, whether you're piloting a new FT process or scaling up for commercial deployment.
