BRE 700: Lecture Series – Sustainable Aviation Fuel

This lecture series focuses on modeling the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from a triglyceride-based feedstock representative of vegetable oil using ProMax®. It includes an explanation of AutoKinetic reactors in the context of hydrogenation, deoxygenation, and isomerization reactions. Access to ProMax is not needed for this session. The lecture series is hosted over WebEx, and information on how to connect to the session will be provided after registration. For more information about a particular BRE 700: Lecture Series course please Contact Training.
