Construction of 300 T/year Commercial Demonstration ASAC Plant

AdvEn has developed a proprietary recipe and manufacturing process to produce high performance activated carbon, trademarked “ASAC” (AdvEn Super Activated Carbon), from refinery residues and asphaltenes generated in bitumen partial upgrading. It utilizes Alberta’s rich bitumen resources as an excellent carbon precursor to manufacture clean-tech products beyond combustion.
