“…Partial oxidation is presently considered an alternative to steam reforming for the generation of H 2 from fossil fuels in decentralized applications [1,2]. An important example is the generation of H 2 for stationary or mobile fuel cells; other applications have also been proposed such as H 2 injection into gas-turbine combustors for flame stabilization [3] or on-site H 2 production for metallurgical treatments.…”

“…Rather than separating the hydrogen with a pressure swing absorber, a reverse water-gas shift reaction can reduce the H 2 /CO ratio (Equation (5)). [31] Methane cokes many SMR catalysts (Equation (6)), and carbon dioxide reacts with coke to form CO (Equation (7)). …”

Micro‐syngas technology options for GtL

Natural gas emissions contribute to climate change, and equally importantly, affect the health of populations near gas fields.[1] At night, the flares from the Bakken fields in North Dakota burn as bright as the lights in cities as large as Minneapolis. Rather than flaring (or worse, venting), this associated natural gas represents a multi‐billion dollar opportunity.[2] Pipelines and liquefying natural gas are cost prohibitive in many cases. Converting methane to fuels is an attractive alternative. We examined three options to convert natural gas to syngas (H2 and CO), which is the first step to producing fuels: Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), Auto‐Thermal Reforming (ATR), and Catalytic Partial Oxidation (CPOX). Based on a multi‐objective optimization analysis, C5+ hydrocarbon yields are highest with CPOX as the first step followed by Fischer‐Tropsch synthesis (FT). A micro‐refinery with the CPOX‐FT process treating 2800 normalkL·d−1 (100 MCF·d−1) natural gas, produces 1300 normalL·d−1 (8.2 bbl·d−1) of C5+ hydrocarbons. Maximum yields for the SMR‐FT and ATR‐FT processes are 938 normalL·d−1 and 1100 normalL·d−1 (5.9 bbl·d−1, 7.0 bbl·d−1) of C5+, respectively. Large‐scale POX and ATR processes produce 1600 L per 2800 kL (10 bbl per 100 MCF) of natural gas.

“…Previous studies of POM using monolithic catalysts and structured reactors (e.g. annular or flat-plate reactors) have been carried out mainly over catalysts containing Pt or Rh [5][6][7][8][9]. Noble metals have a high cost and limited availability whereas inexpensive Nicontaining catalysts possessing the high activity for POM are preferred from industrial standpoint [10].…”
