EnerPure Announces Completion of FEL-2 Engineering for Full-Scale Commercial Recycling Plant

EnerPure Inc. (“EnerPure” or the “Company”), a recycling and energy transition company, is pleased to announce that it has, with the support of Ascent Engineering Inc. (“Ascent”) and Integrated Service Company LLC (“InServ”), completed the FEL-2 engineering work effort and has received the final report from its consultants. This substantial work effort incorporates a number of enhancements to the Manitoba Pilot Plant (“MPP”) design, which processed over 1.6 million litres of Used Motor Oil (“UMO”) and resulted in the sale of over 1.2 million litres to Maersk Shipping.

This updated FEL-2 (Front End Loading) work is the culmination of over 15 years of innovation, testing, processing and production, market intelligence, leadership, and ~C$40 million of investment. EnerPure set out to address the identified need for greater UMO recycling across North America and the world to address the negative environmental impacts and wasteful nature of either dumping or burning UMO. Along the way, it has distinguished itself by developing a robust and efficient modular skid-mounted repeatable recycling plant, that incorporates a significantly reduced capital expenditure. EnerPure’s micro-scale recycling technology enables the development of regional recycling solutions to this global environmental problem, while producing a lower carbon-intensive marine fuel.

“The completion of the FEL-2 engineering work provides further confirmation of our ability to reliably and cost-effectively convert UMO into an in-demand premium fuel product, while generating an impressive return on investment. Fundamentally, we have taken technology, processes, and best practices that have been deployed and widely used in the petroleum industry for over a century and tailored the design and scale to fit what is required to cost-effectively support regional UMO recycling. The adopted skid-mounted repeatable design minimizes upfront capital costs and is an enabler to wide scale regional recycling of UMO,” commented Doug Kroeker, President and Chief Operating Officer.

The significant findings and output from the finalized FEL-2 work are as follows:

Further Improved Conversion Rate: 93% marine fuel and 95% saleable product
In August 2024, the Company had announced that it had increased its conversion rate to an industry-leading 92% by volume. The finalized FEL-2 process engineering work resulted in an increase in the conversion efficiency from 92% to 93% by volume, with this conversion rate increasing to 95% by volume when all saleable product is included.

Scale Up: 1,700 Litres to 4,000 Litres Per Hour in Processing Capacity
The hourly processing capacity of the commercial plant is 135% of the MPP capacity. While designed to run continuously for the industry standard timeframe of three to five years between major shutdowns, our financial forecasts use an annual run time of 328 days per year, resulting in the processing of 31.5 million litres of UMO annually. This significantly reduces the size and complexity of the UMO collection network required to provide feedstock to the plant.

Production of 28% LSMGO and 72% VLSFO
Produced fuel from the MPP was sold as VLSFO (very low sulphur fuel oil). EnerPure’s commercial facilities will be capable of producing and segregating two grades of marine fuel, enabling supply to the LSMGO and VLSFO fuel markets. The updated design will produce 28% as an LSMGO (low sulphur marine gasoil) compliant fuel which sells at a premium to VLSFO, with the remaining 72% targeting the VLSFO fuel grades.
