Velocys expands Fischer-Tropsch reactor roadmap with AlphaCore 800 for larger-scale SAF and e-fuels projects
The reactor can produce up to 800 barrels a day and cut the total reactor count by 75%, Velocys said.
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Velocys announced the AlphaCore 800 reactor, its highest-capacity microchannel Fischer-Tropsch reactor to date for larger sustainable aviation fuel and e-fuels projects.
- Market demand for sustainable aviation fuel and e-fuels production drove the release, as developers seek to simplify configurations for plants targeting approximately 100,000 tonnes per year and above.
- The reactor produces up to 800 barrels per day, or 30,000 tonnes per year, of Fischer-Tropsch fluids from a single unit, doubling the capacity of the previous AlphaCore 400.
- Reducing reactor count by 75% compared to AlphaCore 200 units simplifies plant configuration and lowers equipment requirements for facilities requiring approximately 1,600 barrels per day.
- CEO Matthew Viergutz said, "Customers are asking us to bring our microchannel FT technology into larger projects with simpler configurations." The reactor joins the existing portfolio, enabling larger scales without sacrificing performance.
