Rentech, Inc. (AMEX: RTK) today announced the successful completion of the first full production run at the Company’s Product Demonstration Unit (PDU) in Commerce City, Colorado.
Thousands of gallons of ultra-clean synthetic fuels and specialty chemicals were produced during the nearly 800-hour continuous production run at the facility. A variety of synthetic fuels were produced, including military jet fuel, commercial Jet A and Jet A-1 and ultra-low sulfur diesel, all of which met or exceeded applicable specifications. The Company has shipped these fuels as well as specialty chemicals for testing to potential customers, including the U.S. Air Force.
M Hepworth said
I find it highly improbable that Rentech produced any military jet fuel, commercial jet A and Jet A1 or any ultra low sulfur diesel. What is more likely is that they produced a syncrude which needs further cracking to produce these fuels.
