KDV

KDV Technology – Nature as Example

Organic substances as brown coal, petroleum, plastic waste and plants as well as plant remains which do not come from the food chain are transformed chemically catalytically (not thermally!) into high-quality diesel oil, bitumen and water thanks to the patented KDV process.
The transformation of organic substances into diesel oil or bitumen of highest quality takes place pressureless –just as in nature– at low temperatures (less than 250 °C), but only in a few minutes in lieu of millions of years. (Organic substances with a high percentage of catalyst –just as brown coal– can be added to organic substances having only insufficient catalyst).

Global Benefits

KDV Technology – Nature as Example

Efficient handling of fossil resources – no impact on the environment.

Reduction of costs for electricity and fuels.

With the KDV process, it is possible to completely replace fossil fuels by renewable organic substances as plant, plant waste, wood chips and similar on a long-term basis.

Nuclear power plants with special risks, in case of which the disposal of waste without any damage is still not clarified today, should also be a thing of the past in the future.

An Efficient Process

Example brown coal: When brown coal is transformed to diesel or bitumen in the KDV process with following conversion into electricity; approx. 2/3 of the brown coal is saved in brown coal power plants. (The percentage of bitumen depends on the natural percentage of ash in the brown coal.)

Example crude oil: Due to a change in the petroleum refinery to the KDV process, the efficiency degree increases from approx. 60% to approx. 93% compared with the traditional pyrolyze technology. Consequently, a 50% higher efficiency results.

A Clean Process

An Efficient Process

A large part of the substances used is burnt with the traditional thermal energy production. The toxic substances generated escape with the water vapor into the environment.

The KDV process carried out at low temperature ( less than 250 °C) exclusively produces diesel, bitumen and water. Environmental toxins as dioxin, furans, olefins, resins, coke and methane are even not generated in the KDV process due to the low process temperature.

An Easy Process

No water is necessary for the process.
Uncomplicated installation engineering by a pressure low temperature process and a closed system.
Relatively low investment and maintenance cost.
Easy and dangerless operation.

The KDV-Process

Early 21st century Dr. Christian Koch succeeded with the ingenious breakthrough for highly efficient and not polluting method of conversion of organic material in full diesel (EN 590). In the unpressurized low temperature process produces no toxic gases, there are no chimneys and exhaust gas torches. There is nothing burned.

Leader in the research on this technique for more than 40 years, amongst others with SIEMENS, was Dr. Koch, the owner of patents for KDV process and CEO of Alphakat GmbH, Buttenheim and Eppendorf. The intensively operated research and development in recent years at Alphakat GmbH has today led to a state of the art, which ensures the highest standard quality of the diesel oil, as well as the efficiency of the plants.

Globally there is no provider that can offer such a state of the art technology.

Prehistory

The production of petroleum from organic material is researched and operated for over a hundred years. So far it works only with very low efficiency and serious pollution.

• 1913 Friedrich Bergius discovered such a method.

• 1923 Tropsch and Fischer developed the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process.

The aim was to allow the oil poor Germany a self-supply of diesel oil for fuel supply and chemistry. The efficiency and environmental impact remained largely disregarded. International was based on the FT process intensively eg research at VEBA and Ruhrkohle AG and developed. In Germany, operating plants have been shut down years ago due to low efficiency and high pollution according to this principle. In example, But SA, United States and China will continue to build and operate such facilities. If the process efficiency due to high process temperatures, with approximately 30 to 50%, however, is totally inadequate and continues to lead to huge waste of valuable resources and great pollution.
