Methods for converting a carbon-containing feedstock into liquid transportation fuels are described. The methods may include converting the carbon-containing feedstock into a producer gas made primarily of H2, CO, CO2, and N2, and reacting the producer gas with a substrate catalyst to produce a combination of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) products, the FT products including the liquid transportation fuels. A portion of the FT products may be catalytically shifted to produce additional amounts of liquid transportation fuels. A portion of the FT products, or shifted FT products, may also be hydrogenated to produce additional amounts of stabilized liquid transportation fuels. Apparatuses are also described for employing one or more modular units to convert a carbon-containing feedstock into the liquid transportation fuels. The apparatuses may include a producer gas reactor, a Fischer-Tropsch reactor, a product-shifting reactor, and a hydrogenation reactor. |
