| Summary: | Fischer-Tropsch (FT) products are formed in a plant utilizing a combination of a plasma reformer reactor (
9
) and an FT reactor (
19
). Feedstocks ranging from gases such as methane and natural gas to solids such as petroleum coke and coal are plasma reformed with water and/or CO2 to produce one or more of hydrogen, oils, liquid alkanes and oxygenated alkanes, oil and waxes.
The specific ancillary equipment, e.g., boilers (
16
), preheaters, condensers (
22
) (
24
), gas liquid separators (
19
) (
25
), compressors (
18
) (
18
a
), etc. will be combined or omitted as needed for treatment of desired raw materials as shown by the Figures. |
