Formerly known as AQP Renewables
OxoHydro turns pyrolysis oils and HTL bio-oils from forestry residues, waste tires, and industrial waste streams into refinery-ready fuel. It deploys at the source. No reformer. No external hydrogen. No infrastructure to justify before the first barrel.
Refineries can't process bio-oils as-is. Most renewable oil producers have nowhere to sell.
The OxoHydro catalyst is built on carbided chemistry, a non-sulfide, water-tolerant active phase. This process generates the hydrogen it needs in the most efficient way. Most catalysts break down where ours starts working.
Thousands of hours across eight feedstock types. The numbers below are measured outputs, not projections.
Among the highest-TAN feedstocks we've run. OxoHydro eliminated total acidity and cut oxygen from 11.3% to under 1% — the longest continuous run reported in published literature for this class of feedstock.
Dairy waste HTL arrives dense, high in nitrogen, and loaded with compounds that typically poison a catalyst fast. OxoHydro brought TAN, sulfur, and oxygen all to zero under stable conditions.
Waste tire oil is high in sulfur and nitrogen — both hard to process cleanly. OxoHydro removed over 80% of the sulfur and reduced nitrogen by up to 80%, with stable operation and no special handling required.
With 25% water and 51% oxygen, this feedstock would kill a conventional sulfide catalyst on contact. OxoHydro upgraded it to a predominantly diesel-range product — 65% diesel yield — with zero TAN and zero water.
Also validated on municipal biosolids, aqueous sugar syrups, and co-processing of renewable + fossil feedstocks.
The cubic molybdenum carbide catalyst powering OxoHydro was developed and scaled at our Calgary facility. We don't publish the full formulation. What we do publish: 1,896 continuous operating hours across 8 feedstocks. The Science paper validates the underlying low-temperature chemistry. The runtime validates everything else.
