Anellotech ships first bio-aromatics samples from its TCat-8 pilot plant for purification studies



Type of post: FLASH NEWS.

Anellotech recently achieved two new milestones at its TCat-8® pilot plant in Texas:
- The first shipment of BTX has been sent to its joint development partners IFPEN and Axens for purification studies to obtain bio-paraxylene (bio-PX). This aromatic compound will be used to make renewable PET resin for prototype bottle manufacture and product testing.
- Since the announcement of a successful two-week continuous pilot plant trial in March 2018, over 1,200 hours of cumulative on-stream time have been achieved at TCat-8®.
