Producing synthetic oil from natural gas puts valves through two of the harshest environments in the process industries: syngas generation and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Outlet temperatures near 2,000°F, catalyst fines that behave like sandpaper,...
The gas to liquids process (GTL) converts natural gas into liquid fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is at the heart of the Gas-to-Liquid technology when synthesis gas (or syngas, a mixture of hydrogen...
