Gas-to-Liquids

GTL-Power mini-plant

GTL-Power mini-plant (Plant) for production of derivatives and clean power from associated petroleum gas (APG) and natural gas will be developed, focused on the gases utilization without CO2 emission in the places of gases extraction and consumption. The Plant will be equipped with an electric generator based on a gas-turbine to provide the synthesis process and generate additional Power and Heat. The Plant will be developed in a mobile version for transportation by land, air and sea transport.

Plant designed for converting APG and natural gas (Gases) at a remote location to derivatives for storage and transport to another location or for converting to a motor fuel and clean power on site. A large number of oil and gas fields are “stranded fields”, meaning that they are not close enough to a pipeline to be economically feasible for production. As a result, such fields are not developed and the economic value of the Gases remains trapped in the earth’s crust or even worse in the atmosphere. In some cases, Gases may be available at a remote location, say in a pipeline, however, such Gases has greater utility if converted to a liquid motor fuel and clean power on site.
Prospects for low-tonnage Plant are associated with the development of medium and small oil and gas fields. Small-tonnage production of derivatives and clean power in the places of Gases extraction and consumption will allow solving the environmental problems associated with the combustion of Gases.

Cost-effective Production Technology of Catalyst Systems for Hydrogenation Processes in the Petrochemical Industry and Organic Synthesis

The development of catalytic systems with the active centers based on refractory transition metals is one of the problems of modern inorganic chemistry. A lot of different methods of obtaining composite materials are known, like copper-diamond composite; tungsten-copper composite protected with metal rhenium, obtained by CVD-method that was enhanced with plasma for the details of rockets; obtaining rhenium-tungsten carbide composite and many others. Therefore, a process has been developed applying catalytic-active copper-rhenium composite material low-temperature with gas-phase thermal decomposition of organometallic compounds.
Method of gas-phase deposition of coatings, that was opened by English chemist Mond in 1889 and now is known as CVD-method (chemical vapor deposition), is one of the most perspective methods for coatings for today. Despite the fact, how much time ago CVD-method was opened, still there is a problem of choosing the starting materials for its implementation. Such compounds must satisfy following requirements: high volatility at relatively low temperatures of CVD-process, stability below operating temperature of process, high vapor concentration sufficient to achieve optimal growth rate of the metal deposit.
Such requirements are satisfied with chlorcarboxylates of dirhenium(III), which we offer for Obtaining of rhenium composite materials, rhenium coatings, high pure refractory metals, rhenium catalysts, other catalytic systems for hydrogenation of ethylene and restoring mixture carbon with hydrogen into methane, for anticorrosive coatings, for neutralization ecological dangerous emissions.
