Gas to liquid refers to the technologies designed to convert natural gas to liquid fuels, as alternatives to the traditional refining of crude oil and other natural gas commercialization routes. It involves treatment of natural gas to remove sulfur and impurities, reforming of the natural gas to produce syngas, Fischer-Tropsch conversion to produce long-chain paraffins, and upgrading to produce finished products. This animation illuminates six steps as follows: Gasification, Cooling, Dedust, H2/CO ratio adjustment, Desulfurization, Fischer-Tropsch Reaction, Separation, and Hydrocracking.
