A DSU® demonstration facility
that cleans the seas.
Our process removes sulphur and has:
- Small footprint
- No water usage
- Low direct emissions
A DSU® demonstration facility
We add value to oil products
We are building a demonstration facility using our ground breaking DSU® technology to produce finished low sulphur marine fuel using local heavy oil feedstocks. Our low sulphur marine fuel will help ships meet global sulphur limits.
- 0.5% Global Sulphur Limits
0.5% m/m on and after 1 Jan, 2020 - 0.1% Inside an Emission Control Area
0.1% m/m on and after 1 Jan, 2015
DSU® Technology
Our DSU® technology provides a cheaper, cleaner, and scalable solution for marine fuel production. The DSU® process has no direct SOx or GHG emissions - and it does not leave big piles of coke or asphaltenes behind. The key to the process is sodium, a powerful reducing agent with a strong affinity for sulphur and metals atoms interspersed in the complex heavy oil molecules. In our lab and in our pilot plant in Alberta, we have successfully demonstrated that we can produce ship-ready IMO and ECA-Compliant marine bunker fuels directly from vacuum residue and other heavy feedstocks – including some bottoms that are so heavy they are solid at room temperature.

Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Acquisition Process for Goods and Services
All acquisition of goods and services will be in accordance with Field Upgrading SCM policies and procedures.
Contracts and purchase orders will be evaluated and awarded based on:
- Cost
- Delivery
- Quality
- Reliability
- Total best value
- Health, safety and environmental records
Local suppliers and contractors participating in our SCM process are one of our top priorities.
More information on supply chain opportunities will be posted as available.
