Tóm tắt

 The objective of this research and development effort was to develop a breakthrough hybrid CTL process integrating advanced coal gasification (R-Gas) and natural gas partial oxidation technologies from Gas Technology Institute (GTI) (previously developed by Aerojet Rocketdyne (AR)) with advanced warm syngas cleanup (WDP) and advanced syngas-to-liquids (STL) technologies from RTI International to produce cost-competitive jet fuel compared to conventional refining routes and having a greenhouse gas emissions footprint that meets EISA 2007 �526 requirements. The project objectives are:<
 ol>
 <
 li>
  Advance the constituent technologies of the hybrid process to TRL 5-7 and establish a clear commercialization pathway within the next 5 to 15 years:<
 ol type="a">
 <
 li>
  Demonstrate integrated operation of R-Gas gasifier and POX units with an advanced STL process at pilot-scale (~1 bbl/day). <
 /li>
 <
 li>
 Demonstrate the jet-fuel intermediate generated during this integrated pilot-scale test is suitable for upgrading into jet-fuel using commercial refinery processes. <
 /li>
 <
 li>
 Leverage advances being made with the constituent technologies by commercialization efforts outside of this proposed project.<
 /li>
 <
 /ol>
 <
 /li>
  <
 li>
 Demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed hybrid process to produce cost competitive jet fuel and lower GHG emissions compared to conventional petroleum refining processes using detailed techno-economic analysis based on experimental data collected from pilot-scale testing. <
 /li>
 <
 li>
 Develop a commercialization plan that ensures the hybrid process technology can be commercially deployed within the next 5 to 15 years.<
 /ol>
 <
 /li>
  The expected results from this project are:<
 ul>
 <
 li>
  That the advanced STL technology can be scaled to 1 BPD and that a hydrocarbon intermediate product generated from that system is readily upgradeable to jet fuel. (BP 1 & 2) <
 /li>
 <
 li>
 Demonstration of the integrated GTI coal gasification and partial oxidation technologies with advanced STL technology. (BP 1 & 2) <
 /li>
 <
 li>
 A techno-economic analysis that demonstrates that the combination of GTI and RTI technologies can produce jet fuel that is 25-30% lower cost than conventional CTL and is cost-competitive with petroleum derived jet fuel and that the associated greenhouse gas emissions meet EISA 2007 �526 requirements. (BP 1 & 2) <
 /li>
 <
 li>
 A commercialization plan that ensures commercial deployment of the hybrid CTL process within 5 to 15 years will be developed. One element of this commercialization plan will be a detailed cost estimate for demonstrating a commercial-scale modular STL reactor (12.5 BPD) in conjunction with the GTI coal gasification and partial oxidation technology that will move the STL to a TRL of at least 6.
