GT New Horizons · Highly Ultimate Voltage (UHV)
Naquadah Fuel Refinery
The Naquadah Fuel Refinery (NFR) is a UHV tier multiblock for manufacturing Mk-III+ naquadah based liquid fuels, which are used almost exclusively by the Large Naquadah Reactor (LNR) to generate power. All fuels have at least one alternative recipe for making them more efficiently, but with more expensive materials. The NFR cannot be overclocked by increasing the input voltage, but rather by upgrading the field restriction coils. There are four tiers available and each one unlocks new recipes, performs an additional perfect overclock for lower tier recipes, and offers 4 parallels.
Spreadsheet: GTNH Power Planner 2.9
Construction
The NFR has one tiered component. The field restriction coils determine the available recipes, the number of perfect overclocks, and the number of parallels. Buses/hatches may replace any naquadah fuel refinery casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are supported, but increasing the input voltage does not overclock the machine. There is no maintenance hatch. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure where the projector stack size determines the tier of the coils.

Wallsharing
NFRs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, glass, and buses/hatches. That includes the energy hatch because the EU/t amounts are fixed, but NOT the field restriction coils.
Usage
All NFR recipes have a minimum tier field restriction coil. Every tier offers 4 parallels and every tier above the minimum provides an additional perfect overclock. For example, Mk-IV naquadah based liquid fuel requires at least tier 2 coils, but a NFR with tier 4 coils can run that recipe with 16 parallels and two perfect overclocks. Therefore, it is recommended to always upgrade to the highest tier coils possible.
The following tables provide the consumption rates, production rates, and the number of supported LNRs for each naquadah based liquid fuel recipe. The LNR calculations assume that atomic separation catalyst is being used as a booster, except those marked with an asterisk (*) which assumes that spatially enlarged fluid is being used as a booster. These values can also be used to determine proper ratios such as the number of Mk-III reactors needed to support a single Mk-IV reactor.
