Development of slurry phase Direct DME synthesis process and Transfer of the technology to RenFuD • Slurry phase Direct DME synthesis process had been developed by NKK (now JFE), stepwise starting from beaker scale, through bench scale, to 5 ton/day pilot plant with its own proprietary catalyst since 1989. •From 2002 to 2007, 100 ton/day demonstration plant project was successfully conducted by DME Development Corp. funded by 10 companies. The process performance, catalyst life and long-term stable operation have been demonstrated for a commercial scale technology. With this technical success, feasibility studies of commercial scale DME production from natural gas or coal were conducted. • Total, JAPEX, INPEX and Toyota Tsusho, former members of DME Development Corp., succeeded the technology in 2010. • In 2016, those four companies have transferred the technology patents to RenFuD Corporation. RenFud is now ready for licensing of the DME synthesis process technology with its own technical know-how and supplying its proprietary catalyst.
