Abstract
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) processes are becoming more attractive due to the stringency of environmental regulations, decreasing fossil fuel reserves and development of technologies. It is a potential answer to meet many future energy needs and may provide a carbon neutral alternative depending on the feedstock origin. Conventional FTS processes like gas phase (fixed bed reactor) and liquid phase FTS (slurry reactor) suffer from low reaction rates and a wide range of products. It has been proven experimentally that modifications to the FTS reactor configuration and optimization of the operating conditions can result in significant enhancement of middle distillate products while also significantly reducing the production of undesirable methane. In this paper, a systems engineering analysis of the the economic and environmental viability of a novel supercritical phase FTS technology is presented.
