Development of an Integrated Structure of CHP and Heavy Hydrocarbons Liquids Using Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Recent developments in gas-to-liquid conversion industry lead to reduction in initial investment, and it is expected by growth in demand for refined products in countries and the need to import these products in the countries. Implementing such projects can prevent currency outflow. In this article an integrated structure is developed for producing liquid fuels from natural gas through Fischer-...

Potential for Coal-to-Liquids Conversion in the United States—Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis

The United States has the world s largest coal reserves and Montana the highest potential for mega-mine development. Consequently, a large-scale effort to convert coal to liquids (CTL) has been proposed to create a major source of domestic transportation fuels from coal, and some prominent Montanans want to be at the center of that effort. We calculate that the energy efficiency of the best exi...

Conceptual Design of an Autonomous Once-through Gas-to- Liquid Process with Microchannel Fischer-Tropsch Reactors

Converting remote natural gas to liquid fuel is one possible solution to the problem of transporting remote gas to the energy market. However, the high investment cost of gas-to-liquid (GTL) plants prevents large scale exploitation of remote gas reserves. A lean GTL is suggested based on an autothermal reformer with enriched air as oxidant and a once-through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. In order ...

Fischer-Tropsch chemistry at room temperature?

The unique catalytic activity of vanadium nitrogenase suggests a new direction for the direct production of biofuels from CO with either synthetic catalysts or nitrogenase-containing bacteria. The reduction of CO by V nitrogenase to light hydrocarbons shows striking similarities to the established Fischer-Tropsch process; however, the enzyme does not use H(2) directly for this reaction. ADP=ade...
