Abstract
The utilization of associated petroleum gas via power generation in modern gas piston engines or gas turbines involves some difficulties due to a significant content of heavy C5+ hydrocarbons which are prone to detonation and soot and tar formation. Two pretreatment technologies were described for associated petroleum gas utilization via power generation. Selective oxycracking of heavy hydrocarbons in associated petroleum gas allows their conversion to lighter and high octane molecules. The conversion of associated petroleum gas into syngas with the use of volumetric radiant matrix not only enables utilization of associated petroleum via power generation but also opens prospects for its complete utilization with production of synthetic liquid hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis route.
