AMI Exchangers Ltd was pleased to attend the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Networking Lunch hosted by NOF, bringing together key stakeholders from across the low-carbon aviation fuel supply chain.
The event provided valuable insight into the accelerating development of SAF projects across the UK and the growing role of regional industrial clusters in supporting delivery at scale.
Supporting the Growth of Sustainable Aviation Fuel
With the introduction of the UK SAF Mandate and increased government backing for domestic production, the UK SAF market is entering a critical growth phase. Developers, technology providers, EPC contractors and supply chain partners are now moving from concept and feasibility into detailed engineering and project execution.
For equipment manufacturers like AMI, this represents a significant opportunity to contribute specialist thermal engineering expertise to a rapidly evolving sector.
Where AMI Fits Into the SAF Value Chain
SAF production facilities rely heavily on robust, efficient thermal management systems. Across processes such as:
· Feedstock pre-treatment
· Hydroprocessing and upgrading
· Product cooling and condensation
· Utilities and heat recovery systems
Reliable heat exchange is fundamental to plant performance, energy efficiency and operational safety.
AMI Exchangers Ltd designs and manufactures high-integrity shell and tube heat exchangers for demanding industrial environments, supporting sectors including energy, petrochemical, marine and emerging low-carbon technologies.
As SAF facilities scale, there is increasing demand for:
· Bespoke thermal design solutions
· Pressure-rated and high-temperature capability
· Corrosion-resistant materials
· Compliance with stringent quality and certification standards
These are core competencies within our manufacturing and engineering capability.
Productive Conversations and Future Collaboration
The event offered the opportunity to connect with project developers, engineering partners and fellow supply chain organisations working within the SAF ecosystem. The discussions reinforced the importance of early engagement between process designers and specialist equipment manufacturers to ensure performance, reliability and long-term maintainability.
The UK’s industrial base is well positioned to support SAF deployment, and collaboration across the supply chain will be essential to meeting production targets and decarbonisation goals.
If your organisation is developing or delivering SAF infrastructure and requires specialist heat exchanger solutions, our team would welcome a conversation.
