Our technology in use
Let us explain our technology to you using the pioneering ERA ONE system in Frankfurt am Main.
Redefining synthesis technology for power-to-X processes
Our patented microstructure makes the difference: it makes it possible to produce synthetic fuels from CO₂ and renewable hydrogen in a particularly efficient way.
How does this work? Two key processes take place in our reactors - the reverse water-gas shift reaction and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Thanks to our microstructure technology, which is integrated directly into many stacked reactor foils in the form of extremely fine channels, we achieve exceptionally precise mass and heat exchange. This allows both reactions to be optimally coupled and maximum energy efficiency to be achieved.
The result is compact, modular reactors that are flexibly scalable and dynamically adapt to renewable energies - paving the way for climate-neutral fuel production.
Maximum productivity with minimum volume
The microstructured reactors achieve up to 80 times higher productivity per reactor volume than conventional bubble column reactors. This makes compact, high-performance systems possible - ideal for decentralized, renewable applications.
Outstanding energy efficiency through process integration
The exothermic Fischer-Tropsch reaction supplies heat directly to endothermic reaction steps such as the RWGS reaction. Heat recycling in the process results in an almost loss-free energy exchange with a process energy efficiency of up to 92% - a record value in the industry.
Modular and scalable design
Thanks to the numbering-up principle, reactors are produced in series, integrated into modular synthesis units and then combined into large commercial plants. This design reduces scale-up risks, lowers costs and enables rapid implementation.
Flexibility and dynamism in operation
Each reactor unit can be quickly adapted to variable energy sources - ideal for fluctuating feed-in from wind and solar power. This makes INERATEC a bridge between renewable energy and chemical value creation.
