Development of a CO2 Tolerant Fischer-Tropsch Catalyst: from Laboratory to Commercial-Scale Demonstration in Alaska

摘要/Abstract

摘要： This article describes the development of BPs Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, used for the carbon monoxide conversion and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons. It covers the 18 year period from the early eighties, when laboratory scale preparations and micro-reactors were heavily used, right through to the present day with the commercial scale manufacture and proving of the finished catalyst in BPs new $86 million gas to liquids demonstration facility in Nikiski, Alaska. Extensive performance testing and scale- up experiments have been successfully carried out, all proof that a laboratory preparation can indeed be translated into a commercial manufacturing process. In addition, the resulting catalyst does not only meet the process design targets, but also exhibits enhanced stability and is tolerant to carbon dioxide. Above all, a commercial scale, _xed bed Fischer-Tropsch catalyst is now available and ready for licensing. Manufacturing procedures and quality control have all been successfully detailed and transferred to the commercial manufacturer.
