Project Description
The model is a representation of an industrial biorefining facility, illustrating the key components and process flow of renewable fuel or biochemical production.
Key features of the model:
- Distillation columns: The tall vertical structures are central to the separation process in the biorefinery, used to refine bio-based feedstocks into renewable fuels.
- Reactors and processing units: Horizontal vessels and cylindrical tanks represent reactors and separation units typical in UOP process configurations such as hydrotreating or hydrocracking.
- Piping and instrumentation: Extensive piping networks and catwalks accurately depict real-world plant layout, enabling realistic demonstration of fluid and gas transfer systems.
- Platform and access ladders: The model includes detailed steel structures, staircases, and access platforms to highlight the operational and maintenance pathways.
- LED Lighting: Discreet lighting is used in strategic locations across the model to simulate operational illumination and enhance visual realism during presentations.
- Base and surroundings: The plant sits on a neutral-toned base designed to focus attention on the structural components, ideal for engineering reviews and client showcases.
Purpose & Use:
This scale model is ideal for:
- Trade shows and exhibitions
- Technical training
- Client presentations
- Engineering design reviews
It serves as both a technical tool and a visual aid, helping stakeholders understand the complex processes involved in modern biorefining powered by Honeywell’s cutting-edge solutions.
Ecofining Technology is a renewable fuel production process developed by UOP (a Honeywell company) in collaboration with Eni SpA. It is designed to convert non-edible natural oils, such as vegetable oils, used cooking oils, and animal fats, into green diesel, also known as renewable diesel or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
