Business Description

Syntroleum Corporation began business as GTG, Inc on November 15, 1984. On August 7, 1998 Syntroleum merged into SLH Company. The Company was later re-incorporated in Delaware on June 17, 1999. The Syntroleum Technologies consist of air based syngas generation from natural gas, Fischer-Tropsch technology to convert syngas to FT wax, and hydroprocessing technology. Its hydro-processing technology can be utilized either for conversion of FT wax or fats oils and greases into naphtha, diesel and liquefied petroleum gases. The Company is currently commercializing its FT coal-to-liquids technology via China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation and its Bio-Synfining technology through the Dynamic Fuels, LLC joint venture. The Syntroleum Process produces synthetic liquid hydrocarbons that are substantially free of contaminants normally found in refined products made from crude oil. These synthetic liquid hydrocarbons can be further processed into fungible products through its Synfining Process. These products include, Ultra-clean liquid fuels for use in reciprocating and jet/turbine engines; and Specialty products, such as synthetic lubricants, process oils, high melting point waxes, liquid normal paraffins, and chemical feedstocks. The Syntroleum Process involves two catalytic reactions: conversion of carbon containing material into synthesis gas and conversion of the synthesis gas or syngas into hydrocarbons over its proprietary Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including laws and regulations relating to the release, emission, use, storage, handling, cleanup, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, as well as to employee health and safety.
