Advances in Hydrocarbon Conversion Technologies


In this issue, we learn of breakthroughs in four hydrocarbon conversion technologies: gas-to-liquids (GTL), integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technologies for coal, new approaches to developing products from underground (in-situ) coal gasification (UCG), and a new one-step conversion of natural gas to ethylene.

With regard to GTL, Nebraska-based technology developer, BioSyn Resources, has decided to construct what it calls a fourth-generation 300 b/d GTL demonstration plant. The Fischer-Tropsch technology features a smaller footprint and lower economies of scale, according to the company. It does not require a high CAPEX hydrocracking facility as third-generation GTL technologies do, the company states. The technology involves the use of CO2 as co-feedstock with natural gas.

With regard to IGCC, China has launched its first near-zero emissions coal-based IGCC power plant. Called GreenGen, the 250 MW plant started up on April 17th and is now undergoing a technical review. It uses technology from Huaneng China Energy Research Institute, which will be used by U.S.-based EmberClear at their proposed Pennsylvania IGCC plant...Full Article
