A GtL process may be established via the Fischer–Tropsch process which comprises several chemical reactions that convert a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2) into long chained hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are typically liquid or semi-liquid and ideally have the formula (C n H 2n+2).
INFRA M100 Gas-To-Liquid Plant near Houston, TX. In 2010, INFRA built a compact Pilot Plant for conversion of natural gas into synthetic oil. The plant modeled the full cycle of the GTL chemical process including the intake of pipeline gas, sulfur removal, steam methane reforming, syngas conditioning, and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis.
The process of producing synfuels through indirect conversion is often referred to as coal-to-liquids (CTL), gas-to-liquids (GTL) or biomass-to-liquids (BTL), depending on the initial feedstock. At least three projects (Ohio River Clean Fuels, Illinois Clean Fuels, and Rentech Natchez) are combining coal and biomass feedstocks, creating hybrid ...

The STG+ process uses standard catalysts similar to those used in other gas to liquids technologies, specifically in methanol to gasoline processes. Methanol to gasoline processes favor molecular size- and shape-selective zeolite catalysts, [ 2 ] and the STG+ process also utilizes commercially available shape-selective catalysts, such as ZSM-5 .
The total production of the liquid fuel during that period was 470,000 t and the cost was equivalent to ~60 USD per barrel of crude oil. [12] Other companies that have developed coal- or gas-to-liquids processes (at the pilot plant or commercial stage) include ExxonMobil, StatoilHydro, Rentech, and Syntroleum. [13] [14]
The Pearl GTL is a gas to liquids (GTL) plant based in Ras Laffan, Qatar. It converts natural gas into liquid petroleum products. It is the largest GTL plant in the world. [1] [2] The first commercial shipment from the Pearl GTL was made on 13 June 2011. [3] Pearl GTL received the 2021 "Asset of the Year" award by Shell. [4]
Stargazers should prepare to lose sleep on Tuesday, Aug. 12, as two celestial sights unfold. The first event will be visible before sunrise and will feature the two brightest planets in the sky ...
