Modular Fischer Tropsh for Wyoming Coal to Liquid Fuels Exec Summary

State of Wyoming Clean Coal Technologies Research Program Fischer-Tropsch conversion of Wyoming coal-derived syngas using a small channel reactor for improving efficiency and limiting emissions (Topic H: Coal-to-Liquids) A Final Executive Report to the Legislature of the State of Wyoming

Superstructure of Cogeneration of Power, Heating, Cooling and Liquid Fuels Using Gasification of Feedstock with Primary Material of Coal for Employing in LNG Process

Using absorption refrigeration cycles instead of vapor compression refrigeration cycles can drastically decrease energy consumption. In these systems, high level of energy consumption is reduced due to the partially elimination of vapor compression refrigeration systems. On the other hand, utilization of waste heat of the plant, which is a very good opportunity for energy saving,  is possible. ...

Comparative analysis of the production costs and life-cycle GHG emissions of FT liquid fuels from coal and natural gas.

Liquid transportation fuels derived from coal and natural gas could helpthe United States reduce its dependence on petroleum. The fuels could be produced domestically or imported from fossil fuel-rich countries. The goal of this paper is to determine the life-cycle GHG emissions of coal- and natural gas-based Fischer-Tropsch (FT) liquids, as well as to compare production costs. The results show...

The prospects for coal-to-liquid conversion: A general equilibrium analysis

We investigate the economics of coal-to-liquid (CTL) conversion, a polygeneration technology that produces liquid fuels, chemicals, and electricity by coal gasification and Fischer–Tropsch process. CTL is more expensive than extant technologies when producing the same bundle of output. In addition, the significant carbon footprint of CTL may raise environmental concerns. However, as petroleum p...

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-...
