Gas to liquids (GTL) is a refinery process to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons, such as gasoline or diesel fuel. Methane -rich gases are converted into liquid synthetic fuels.

The GTL process consists of three stages: In the first stage synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, is manufactured from natural gas by partial oxidation. Impurities are removed from the syngas. A second stage converts the synthesis gas into liquid hydrocarbons using a catalyst.

First stage of the GTL process converts dry natural gas (principally methane) into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, commonly known as synthesis gas (syngas). CO + 3H2 H2 + CO2 2CO + 2H2. Zinc oxide is used to remove sulfur from the gas.

2025年1月28日 · Converting gas to liquids (GTL) through the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) route to monetize stranded gas has received increasing attention over the past few years. FT technology is a process that rearranges carbon and hydrogen molecules in a manner that produces a liquid, heavier hydrocarbon molecule.

The typical steps in the GTL process include the gasification or reforming process to obtain synthesis gas or syngas (consisting primarily of a carbon monoxide and hydrogen mixture), followed by the synthesis of hydrocarbons and oxygenates from syngas via FTS technology, and finally the upgrading of liquids hydrocarbons (known as syncrude) via ...

Today, GTL is the integrated process of the manufacture of synthesis gas (syngas) from natural gas, the subsequent conversion of the syngas into hydrocarbons via the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction, followed by liquid processing that typically consists of hydroprocessing reactors and distillation columns to generate the final products with the ...

Gas-To-Liquids (GTL) is the umbrella term for the technology that is used to produce a suite of synthetic hydrocarbon liquids through the Fischer-Tropsch process. At the heart of Shell's GTL technology is the proprietary Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis process.

Gas-to-liquids is a catalytic process which involves the chemical conversion of natural gas (primarily methane) into liquid hydrocarbons – naphtha, diesel, and waxes (Fig. 4). GTL is an appropriate option in natural gas exploitation, with the main end products being useful as transportation fuels and base chemical feedstock.

2018年5月3日 · Gas-to-liquids (GTL) is a technology that enables the production of clean-burning diesel fuel, liquid petroleum gas, base oil and naphtha from natural gas. The GTL process transforms natural gas into very clean diesel fuel because products are colorless and odorless hydrocarbons with very low level of impurities.
