Conversion of CO2‑Rich Natural Gas to Liquid Transportation Fuels via Trireforming and Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis: Model-Based Assessment

This paper presents a model-based analysis of a process coupling trireforming and Fischer–Tropsch technologies for the production of liquid fuels from CO2-rich natural gas. The process also includes an upgrading section based on hydrocracking, a separation section, a water gas shift unit, and a Rankine cycle unit for recovering the excess thermal energy produced by the Fischer–Tropsch reactor. Simulations are carried out in the process …
