Motivation and Conceptual Formulation for the Development of the Refinery Systems
The motivation of the underlying research and development was the creation of a new method aiming at achieving the following goals:
• The stabilization of living-standards even in cases of rapidly sinking incomes through the availability of low-cost fuels for the industry, energy production, motor vehicles and heating;
• The combination of a new environment-friendly refinery technology with a high value creation;
• The increase of income in agriculture through the cultivation of high-yield crops as renewable raw materials for the conversion into diesel fuel, kerosene or benzene;
• The neutralization of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During its burning the synthetic diesel - kerosene or benzene are possible as well - produced with the BIOSELECT-BTL Refinery System from vegetable raw materials releases only the amount of C02 that was drawn from the atmosphere during their growth process.

As opposed to fossil fuels they are nearly C02 neutral!
The cycles of matter and of energy are thus de facto closed. Consequently, its use helps to reduce the increasing greenhouse effect and counteracts the global climatic changes.
The focal point during the development of the BIOSELECT-BTL Refinery Systems was the development of a technology capable of continuously converting bio mass utilizing natural catalysts into vapor fuels without necessary maintenance intervals.
The processing of wastes from petroleum products such as plastic scrap is with this system also possible. A technology thus not limited to a specific kind of bio mass but utilizabie for a multitude of bio raw materials such as for example bio wastes from food production as well as selected productions from the waste recycling process.
The subsequently specified BTL-Refinery Systems BIOSELECT-500 and larger units are based on international state-of-the-art technology in the BTL Refinery Sector.
Not only in the technical realization, but also in environmental aspects are these BIOSELECT-Systems outperforming and superior to the processes applied in BTL-/Bio-refineries of other well-known producers.
As a result of the maintenance free non-stop operation, the advantages become particularly evident in the production cost per liter synthetic diesel, kerosene or benzene.

Details of the Technical Process and the Advantages for the Environment
The applied technology is based on an entirely new developed method that completely excludes the creation of the coke crystal and uses another selective substance, which will not like the coke crystal relocate the existing hydrocarbon CH2 into Methane CH4 and coke crystals C, but instead conserves it by merely reducing the molecule length binding and separating harmful substances from the cycle.
Archetype for the applied new process is the crude oil formation in nature. The process employs similar catalysts as those existing hundreds of millions of years ago when the agitated oceans deposited suspended clay minerals with dead matter.
The introduced process forming the basis of the new technology uses, in comparison to the crude oil formation millions of years ago, a temperature between 27Q°C and 350°C instead of 40°C. This is based on Ion swapping catalysts und to 100% crystallizing y-catalysts, which extremely actively support the conversion of bio mass into fuel vapors. The highest reaction temperature of 350 °C is thus 70 °C below the lowest coke crystal formation temperature of 420 °C.
The in other bio-refineries applied methods operate with considerably higher process temperatures, which consequently release the known dioxin and furans. The offered Bioselect-BTL-Refineries with their Bioselect BTL-Technology do not produce said dioxins and furans to start with and hence do not pose a danger for theenvironment.
A decisive advantage of the Refinery Systems is the environment preserving utilization of renewable raw materials as well as the expedient usage, respectively, repatriation of residues from the food production and edible oils for the production of high-quality fuels.

The line operation produces generally no vapor emissions!!
Through degree exact temperature steering in the reactor the produced fuel vapors are in essence converted into the anticipated end product. The in the reactor emerging minor amount of split gases are reapplied and are therefore not emitted to the environment.
The in all other facilities without Bioselect-Technology otherwise during the burning/gasification produced CO/C02 is not generated with the Bioselect-Systems but is instead embedded as energy carrier in the diesel. The release occurs only with the use of the end product, in form of high-quality diesel or heating fuel.
Since the synthetic diesel/heating fuel produced with the Bioselect-Technology has a Cetane value of more than 60, the CO/C02 emission could be additionally reduced with the use of corresponding engines/heating systems as compared with conventional diesel.

Bioselect -Technology Sets New Standards for BTL-Refineries
The requirements of environment friendly and preserving Refineries can be perfectly realized with the described BIOSELECT-Technology. The fuels contained in the bio mass in form of hydrocarbon are not released during the reaction with oxygen through burning or gasification but rather in form through catalytic treatment in an airless oil bath and made available as resource of raw material. This serves to prevent the production of C02during the production of combustibles or fuels.
On the other hand, the application of the BIOSELECT-Technology permits the long-term operation 24/7 without interruption.
The problematic of interruptions of the operation required in bio-diesel and BTL-Refineries of other producers for the mandatory cleaning of the unit from bio mass as caking on walls, Pipes, snails;

does not exist with the BIOSELECT-Technology.
This is a pivotal aspect and constitutes an important factor for the efficiency of the unit to be installed.
Moreover, the not unsubstantial amounts of electricity produced in but not used by the unit that can hence be fed into the grid have to be highlighted.
A further significant advantage for choosing the BIOSELECT-Technology is the energetic self-sufficiency of the whole unit after reaching standard operating levels after its start-up with self-produced electricity. The materials used for the production meet the highest industrial standards, manufacturers include well known names as BASF an others.

Performance of the BIOSELECT-Technology in BTL-Refineries
The configuration of the system contained in the BIOSELECT-Technology is a process utilizing a constantly self-regenerating inexpensive zeolite-catalyst. These zeolite catalysts support the conversion of bio mass relatively completely into condensable vapor fuels.
The economic availability is 96%, the catalytic activity remains available throughout the whole operation.
The organic residue produced during the process in form of premium charcoal is automatically pressed out by the ERP-reactor (exact parameter-controllable reactor), which is the heart of the facility, and subsequently transformed in a gasification plant into weak gas and then as fuel gas conducted to the block heat and power plant.
During this conversion of charcoal into fuel gas, agglomerated catalysts are recovered by an expedient instrument and readmitted to the process. Consequently, only a marginal amount of additional catalysts have to be added throughout the operation.
