Abstract
The choice of technology for synthesis gas production depends on the scale of the synthesis operation. Syngas production from solid fuels can require an even greater capital investment with the addition of feedstock handling and more complex syngas purification operations. The greatest impact on improving gas-to-liquids plant economics is to decrease capital costs associated with syngas production and improve thermal efficiency through better heat integration and utilization. Improved thermal efficiency can be obtained by combining the gas-to-liquids plant with a power generation plant to take advantage of the availability of low-pressure steam.
