Sustainable aviation fuel in the sustainable energies industry

The aviation industry must decarbonise, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plays a key role in achieving this goal. SAF can be produced from a wide range of feedstocks through various production pathways, including Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA), as well as emerging technologies such as Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) and Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene via Fischer–Tropsch (SPK-FT). Although each pathway presents unique characteristics, they also share common process challenges, such as complex feedstock handling, high pressures and temperatures, and hydrogen service.

Ensuring safe and reliable plant operation over many years begins with selecting the right instrumentation from the outset. Robust straight-tube Coriolis mass flowmeters and ceramic pressure transmitters are designed to handle even the most abrasive feedstocks, while ultrasonic flowmeters provide reliable operation under extreme pressures and temperatures in hydrogen, liquids, steam, and gases. In addition, complete turnkey solutions are available to address custody transfer and advanced leak detection requirements.
