Heavy Bottom. Rentech's patented process converts gas which is passed through its iron-based catalyst technology to achieve it's gas-to-liquid conversion. Iron-based catalyst is the most versatile catalyst available in that it can be used on the widest variety of gas feedstocks ranging from coal and biomass to natural gas. Cobalt-based catalysts used by Shell and Exxon are targeted for natural gas giving Rentech the competitive edge for overall use on a worldwide basis. The following illustration is an example of how valuable Rentech's gas-to-liquids technology could be to the refinery industry alone. If a typical 100,000 barrel per day refinery had 15,000 barrels per day of heavy bottoms material to dispose of, a portion of the synthesis gas produced from that material could meet the refinery's estimated 50Mw electrical requirements and the remainder of the synthesis gas could be utilized by the Rentech process technology to produce approximately 5500 barrels per day of valuable liquid by hydrocarbons. Assuming a $20 per barrel value for the hydrocarbon products, the value of the refinery's output could increase by approximately $40 million per year not including the savings in electrical costs achieved by internal generation in lieu of outside purchase.
