ENHANCEMENT OF FISCHER TROPSCH PROCESS FOR HYDROCARBON FUEL FORMULATION IN A GTL ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An enhanced natural gas processing method using Fischer Tropsch (FT) process for the synthesis of sulfur free clean burning hydrocarbon fuels examples of which include syndiesel and aviation fuel. A selection of natural gas separately or combined with portions of natural gas liquids and FT naphtha and FT vapours are destroyed in a syngas generator and used or recycled as feedstock to an Fischer Tropsch (FT) reactor in order to enhance the production of syndiesel from the reactor. The process enhancement results is the maximum production of formulated syndiesel without the presence or formation of low value by products.
