Leading Market Data on Projects & Technologies


Zeus Syngas Refining Report
fills a niche specific to the gasification and syngas-to-products industries. Join us as we follow the exciting developments in syngas development technologies and how syngas is used to generate power, produce fuels, chemicals and fertilizer in a cost-efficient manner.  Each issue offers a succinct digest of the most important developments across gasification markets and technologies.  Analysis articles offer insights into emerging trends and movements on the horizon.

Available independently or collectively with the Syngas Refining Report, our Global Gasification Project Database provides interactive profiles of gasification projects worldwide. Covered technologies include CTX (coal), (WTX) waste, (OTX) oil, (GTX) gas, (BTX) biomass, and (PTX) petcoke. View full listing of global gasification projects here.

High Oil Prices Energize Modular GTL Solutions


In this issue, we learn of a remarkable increase in new GTL technologies to offer oil producers alternatives to re-injecting or flaring associated gas. With oil trading at seven to eight times the price of U.S. Henry Hub natural gas on an energy-equivalent basis, incentives to convert methane and ethane into petroleum-like products that can be blended with crude oil are great.

Petrobras, for example, which has one of the largest reserves of oil and associated gas offshore Brazil, is advancing two modular GTL concepts. In this issue, we learn it has concluded a qualification test for "the world’s first modular GTL unit." The CompactGTL design is reported to incorporate all applications necessary to treat associated gas offshore, using mini-channel steam methane reforming and Fischer Tropsch (FT) reactors to fit within the confines of a floating, production, storage and offloading vessel.

Oxford Catalysts, another GTL technologist working with Petrobras, completed last year a 6 b/d demonstration plant using microchannel reactors to convert gas into FT liquids and wax for blending with crude oil. The skid-mounted unit was built as...Full Article
