天然气转变液体燃料技术及其发展前景

Gas-to-Liquids Technology and Its Developing Prospects

综述了国外天然气转变液体燃料(GTL)技术的发展概况,指出此项技术的关键工艺是合成气生产、反应器设计和催化剂开发,详细介绍了GTL技术的应用情况。经济对比结果表明,天然气转变液体燃料技术的投资低于液化天然气的投资,作为一种天然气输送和利用的新途径,这项技术有着广阔的应用前景。

The paper reviews the development of gas-to-liquids technology in the world,and points out that the key technology of gas-to-liquids is the synthetic gas production,F-T reactor design,and catalyst development. The trend in the three aspects and the prospects of gas-to-liquids technology are respectively described and forcasted. The results on economical comparison show that the investment of GTL is lower than that of LNG, and GTL technology is provided with a bright application prospects as a new way to transport and apply natural gas.
