What Is the Fischer-Tropsch Process?

FischerTropsch process, also known as FT synthesis , is a process that uses synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) as a raw material to synthesize liquid hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons under the conditions of catalysts and appropriate conditions. . Developed in 1925 by the German chemists Franz Fischer and Hans Toropsch at the Max Planck Coal Research Institute in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

FischerTropsch process, also known as FT synthesis , is based on
The Fischer-Tropsch process includes a series of
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis has been used in large-scale natural gas liquefaction and coal liquefaction facilities:
Using traditional Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology, the carbon efficiency of this process is from 25% to 50%, the thermal efficiency is about 50%, the idealization rate for CTL equipment is 60%, and the efficiency of GTL equipment is about 60% to 80%. effectiveness. [1]
