Aduro achieves high hydrocarbon yields in 75-hour NGP technology testing
Executive summary: Aduro completed a 75-hour NGP campaign processing 758 kg of polymers, achieving hydrocarbon yields between 88.8% and 90.8%. The high yield and improved recovery time demonstrate the technical viability and increasing efficiency of the NGP process for polyolefin upcycling.
Who is involved: Aduro and NGP technology operators.
Likely next: Further scaling of the NGP process or transition to larger-scale industrial pilots based on these operational data.
Aduro has reported significant condensable hydrocarbon yields ranging from 88.8% to 90.8% during a recent 75-hour NGP campaign. The trial successfully processed approximately 758 kg of polyolefin polymers with consistent product quality. Notably, the system reached target operating conditions two hours faster than in previous comparable runs, indicating improved operational efficiency.
What's next — scenarios
Base: Continued technical validation (60%)
Aduro continues small-scale runs to prove long-term stability of the 88-90% yield.
- Successful completion of next 100+ hour campaign
- Maintenance of product quality across different feedstocks
Upside: Industrial scale-up pilot (25%)
Increased capital allocation for larger-scale NGP deployment.
- Partnership announcement with major polymer producers
- Demonstration of yields at multi-ton scale
Downside: Operational volatility (15%)
Yields drop below 85% or recovery times increase due to feedstock impurities.
- Failure to maintain steady-state conditions in larger runs
- Decrease in hydrocarbon purity
What to watch
- Next NGP campaign duration and yield results
- Results of feedstock diversity tests (different polyolefin types)
