NextChem and Sarlux S.r.l to collaborate

Published by , Assistant Editor
Hydrocarbon Engineering,


MAIRE has announced that NEXTCHEM, through its subsidiary NextChem Tech, has signed a binding term sheet with Sarlux S.r.l. – a company belonging to the Saras Group – including the main terms and conditions to act as engineering services and technology provider for the implementation of a pilot plant in Sarroch’s facility (Sardinia, Italy). The pilot plant is aimed at producing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), with the potential for scaling-up to an industrial facility.

NextChem Tech will also integrate its own NX CPOTM technology, a solution that makes synthesis gas through a catalytic partial oxidation, into the process. When NX CPOTM technology is used for synthetic fuel production, it boosts the overall efficiency of the process by recovering and reusing the hydrogen and carbon in the off-gases molecules, thus reducing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. NextChem Tech will supply the license and the proprietary equipment, including its own catalyst for this technology.

The agreement also includes a provision for NextChem Tech for to provide high value-added engineering services during the project delivery, the commissioning, and the start-up phases. Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, commented: “This agreement is a clear sign of the soundness of the group's technological value proposition, spanning from licensing and high-value process design services to the supply of proprietary catalysts. This award is a further demonstration of our top-class and broad portfolio of effective technologies that support our clients in their energy transition process.”
