About the Genoil GHU Technology:
Genoil’s field upgrader (GHU) is an environmentally friendly technology which reduces the carbon content of a barrel of crude oil while removing sulfur and nitrogen that cause greenhouse gases. The GHU economically (up to 75% less OPEX & CAPEX than existing processes) converts heavy crude oil, bitumen, atmospheric residues, and vacuum residues into a lighter crude so that it can be transportable by pipeline without the aid of diluent making it compatible for refineries. The GHU increases the yield of light products and decreases the residual portion of a heavy crude stream, producing a much more desirable refinery feedstock.
