Incorporating gas heated reforming (GHR) technology into autothermal reforming (ATR)-based GTL processes offers combined benefits of significantly higher carbon efficiency and lower capital cost. An ...

First the feedstock methane is broken down by reacting it with oxygen in the form of steam or air to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In the second phase this syngas is fed to ...

The Fischer Tropsch process was found to oscillate between high and low activity states, a behavior that could enhance the reaction rate and yield of desired products. Traditionally misunderstood, ...

The Fischer-Tropsch section (mid left) and the syngas section (mid right) appear in this recent photo of Syntroleum Corp.'s pilot plant inside the gate at the Cherry Point, Wash., refinery. The plant ...

A fundamental discovery about the Fischer Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

In a scene reminiscent of a television commercial, a man holds a glass of water-white liquid and extols the virtues of a process for making ultraclean diesel fuel. But there's no soothing background ...

Researchers are clearing the runway for the global launch of a sustainable, fully formulated synthetic aviation fuel refined through the Fischer-Tropsch process. · Case-study reveals fuel to be ...
