Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method of converting natural gases to liquids is provided. The system includes a catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) system with natural gas, air and steam input, a Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) system taking syngas from the CPO system, and supplying product gases to a power engine (PE), after separation of the product liquids. An F-T steam output line is in fluid communication with the CPO-steam input line. The energy output from the PE is supplied to the compressors and condensers, to provide self-sustainability in energy, for the gas-to-liquid separation system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) system comprising a CPO-input line and a CPO-output line, wherein the CPO-input line is in fluid communication with a CPO-natural gas input line, a CPO-air input line, and a CPO-steam input line; a Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) system comprising an F-T-reactor input line, an F-T-reactor output line, an F-T water input line, and an F-T steam output line, wherein the F-T-reactor input line is in flui…
