It is estimated that a large fraction of natural gas reserves are
found in locations from where transport is not economical. If these
isolated natural gas reserves could be converted to synthetic
fuels, they would generate around 250 billion barrels of synthetic
oil-a quantity equal to one-third of the Middle East's proven oil
reserves. Small-Scale Gas to Liquid Fuel Synthesis explores
next-generation technologies geared toward overcoming the
significant cost and technical barriers prohibiting the extensive
use of conventional gas to liquid (GTL) processes for the
exploitation of small and/or isolated natural gas reservoirs. The
book highlights key research activities in the framework of two
large European projects-Innovative Catalytic Technologies &
Materials for Next Gas to Liquid Processes (NEXT-GTL) and Oxidative
Coupling of Methane followed by Oligomerization to Liquids
(OCMOL)-examining novel technical developments that reduce the
costs associated with air fractioning and syngas production.
Featuring contributions from internationally respected experts,
Small-Scale Gas to Liquid Fuel Synthesis discusses innovative GTL
technologies based on recent advances in catalytic membrane
systems, reaction engineering, and process design. The book
provides academic and industrial researchers with a concise
presentation of the current state of the art of low-cost,
energy-efficient GTL technologies for small-scale applications.
