An international team of industry engineers and experts has developed one of the most significant improvements in the production of synthetic crude oil, the Chattanooga Process.

Oil prices have risen and unconventional oil resources are now a viable alternative to America's reliance on imported oil.  To address this reality, Chattanooga Corp has developed a significant improvement in the production of synthetic crude oil.

Led by an international team of industry engineers and experts, Chattanooga Corp is a technology research and development company that focuses on processes for converting unconventional oil resources into synthetic crude oil.  Chattanooga has developed a patented new technology to directly convert various unconventional oil resources into a light, high grade, synthetic crude oil.

The reaction kinetics of the Chattanooga Process to extract bituman has been proven on a laboratory scale.  Most recently, successful fluidization has been achieved in a reactor system to produce synthetic crude oil from Colorado oil shale using the Chattanooga Process.  These results have proven that the Chattanooga Process can be used for producing synthetic crude oil from oil shale.

Engineering estimates have been developed quantifying the advantages of using the Chattanooga Process and a plant has been fully designed and cost estimated.   Using this information and the new technology, Chattanooga Corp is expanding partnerships with leading energy producers, government agencies, banks and investors for the purpose of establishing a commercial-scale demonstration facility to be followed by multiple commercial operations.  The Chattanooga Process also takes advantage proven sub-processes of existing commercial and industrial operations, thereby reducing the risks and costs associated with implementing this technology.
