Energy Catalysis, Inc (ECI) is a research and design business that specializes in fuel production technologies, catalysis, environmental control technologies and recycling. ECI develops catalysts and processes to produce clean fuels and chemicals from coal and biomass. The current technology is focused on processing low-volatile hydrocarbons such as coal, petroleum residua, tar sand bitumen, and biomass into clean transportation grade liquid fuels. Highly active catalysts and most efficient reactor system make the technology significantly superior and cost-effective compared to current available technologies.
ECI has developed a direct catalytic coal liquefaction technology to produce clean liquid fuel. The combination of novel catalysts and reactor system will allow economic production of clean liquid fuels from coal, biomass/coal and other low-volatile hydrocarbons at a cost of less than $40 per barrel of synthetic crude oil. The technology is also applicable to refining heavy petroleum feedstock. The technology is superior and more cost effective than current commercial processes.
