1. Introduction. South African coal is a cheap and abundant source for the production of liquid fuels and chemicals. However, coal's role into the future will be governed by the propensity of processes to control CO 2 emission. In addition, most coal conversion processes utilise large amounts of steam as a feedstock to produce syngas (Speight (2008)).In the Waterberg region of South Africa ...
Process. Coaltoliquid fuel technology has been in existence since the 1920s. The process, known as FischerTropsch (FT) Synthesis, uses gasification to convert carbon materials to carbon monoxide and a hydrogenrich synthetic gas. This synthesis gas, or syngas, is fed into an FT reactor that condenses the gas over a catalyst and converts it ...
Notwithstanding the complexity of FT plants, all XTL ("anything"toliquid) processes, where X = C for coal, G for natural gas, or B for biomass processes, consist of the three main steps illustrated in Fig. : gasification to syngas and gas cleaning/conditioning, FT synthesis, and product in and different available options for biomass gasification (pressure, use of ...
coal liquefaction, any process of turning coal into liquid products resembling crude oil. The two procedures that have been most extensively evaluated are carbonization—heating coal in the absence of air—and hydrogenation—causing coal to react with hydrogen at high pressures, usually in the presence of a catalyst.
4 Liquefaction. Coal liquefaction is the process of making a liquid fuel from coal. The fundamental difference between coal, a solid, and liquid fuels is that the liquid fuels have a higher hydrogen:carbon ratio. Liquid fuels have lower ash contents and are easier to upgrade (, to remove unwanted impurities such as nitrogen and sulfur). ...
Coal to liquids via the FTS process is an alternative technology for oil production, utilizing vast Thar coal resources in Pakistan. The technology can also play a key role in countering booming imports of these hydrocarbon liquids in the country. However, energy usage and GHG emissions of FTS plants are relatively very high due to their long ...
Library. Coal to Liquids and Water Use. Production of liquid transportation fuels from coal biomass requires significant amounts of water, for three major purposes: 1) process cooling demands in coal conversion will often be met by wet evaporative cooling, which is associated with consumption of water through evaporation just as ...
Indirect liquefaction requires an intermediate gasification of the solid coal to form a synthesis gas, which is then converted to the liquid product. This process results in the complete dismantling of the coal structure. direct liquefaction, coal is exposed directly to hydrogen at high temperatures (450C) and high pressures (kPa ...
Brown Coal Liquefaction (BCL) direct liquefaction process, developed in Japan and taken to pilot scale in Victoria Australia, is under study at three locations: Banko, Berau and Mulia. Pilot scale tests were carried out on Indonesian low rank coal at a 50 tpd pilot plant in Victoria. There is a proposal to build a 3 ktpd or kbbl/day ...
The Liquids from Coal (LFC™) process uses mild coal gasification to upgrade lowrank coals to two fuels: a stable, lowsulfur, highBTU solid fuel similar in composition and handling properties to bituminous coal (referred to as processderived fuel, PDFTM) and a lowsulfur industrial fuel oil (referred to as coalderived liquid, or CDL ...

FischerTropsch Process to Generate Liquid Fuels. So, what can be done with synthesis gas? It can be burned and used in a gas turbine to heat exchange the heat to produce steam and operate a second turbine for electricity. ... Replace the natural gas units with coal and/or biomass gasification and gas conditioning. Add parallel trains of ...
Process design data sources Biofuels and Emerging Technologies Team GTL Technology Assessment in support of AEO2013 11 •Bechtel study from 2002 represents a general design that could be integrated with an existing petroleum refinery. It was designed to provide the flexibility of using synthesis gas from coal gasification.
These results show that the solvent/coal ratio of the feed slurry in the brown coal liquefaction process should be small when the slurry can be transported by a pump for the liquefaction because ...
Synthetic fuel or synfuel is a liquid fuel, or sometimes gaseous fuel, obtained from syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which the syngas was derived from gasification of solid feedstocks such as coal or biomass or by reforming of natural gas . Common ways for refining synthetic fuels include the FischerTropsch conversion ...
In this study, the model of the coaltoliquids (CTL) process with different entrained flow gasifiers has been developed in Aspen Plus. This model is consistent with the literature data, and can reasonably estimate the CTL process with various gasifiers. Case GSP produces FT liquids of t/h, Case Shell can produce t/h, and Case ...
Library. Commercial Use of FischerTropsch Synthesis. Production of liquid fuels and chemicals from coal on a large scale was practiced in South Africa for decades at Synfuels' II and III, two FischerTropsch (FT) synthesisbased fuels production plants in Secunda, South Africa. Construction of II began in the ...
Liquid transportation hydrocarbon fuels and various other chemical products can be produced from syngas via the wellknown and established catalytic chemical process called FischerTropsch (FT) synthesis, named after the original German inventors, Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch in the 1920s. During World War II, FT synthesis provided liquid hydrocarbon fuels for the German war effort.

The challenge for Leigh Creek Energy Limited was to design, build and commission a pilot plant to transform coal from its solid state into a gaseous form and monitor the technical and environmental performance of the process. The insitu gasification process (ISG) produces methane, hydrogen and other valuable components.
CoaltoLiquids (CTL) is a process of converting coal to fuels such as diesel or gas. For diesel, the process involves first building a plant to convert coal to gas and then another plant to covert the gas to a liquid. The resultant liquid fuel is known as synthetic fuel or synfuel.
4. Coal Liquefaction Coal liquefaction is the conversion of coal into a synthetic oil in order to supplement natural sources of petroleum. It is an attractive technology because 1) It is well developed and thus could be implemented fairly rapidly and 2) There are relatively large quantities of coal reserves. 5.
Coal liquefaction is a process of converting coal into liquid hydrocarbons: liquid fuels and petrochemicals. This process is often known as "Coal to X" or "Carbon to X", where X can be many different hydrocarbonbased products. However, the most common process chain is "Coal to Liquid Fuels" (CTL).
The block diagram of the conventional CtL process and the novel CPtL process is shown in Fig. the conventional CtL process (Fig. 1 (a)), coal is firstly gasified to produce raw syngas with a H 2 /CO ratio of, far less than the required ratio of for FT, raw syngas is fed to the WGS unit to adjust H 2 /CO ratio. . Then syngas is transferred to the AGR unit ...
Coal can be converted to liquid fuel using either direct or indirect liquefaction. Direct liquefaction isn't used in the because in order to comply with standards, the process prices itself out of practicality.
DCL is termed direct because the coal is transformed into liquid without first being gasified to form syngas (which can then in turn be transformed into liquid products). The latter twostep approach, the coal to syngas to liquids route is termed indirect coal liquefaction (ICL). Therefore, the DCL process is, in principle, the simpler and ...
