A round-up of current and proposed projects involving non-nitrogen synthesis gas derivatives, including methanol, synthetic/substitute natural gas (SNG) and gas- and coal to liquids (GTL/CTL) plants.

Air Liquide explains the key features and benefits of GasPOx, a catalyst-free syngas platform that enables cost-efficient, low-carbon production from diverse feedstocks with minimal pretreatment.

Selecting the right syngas technology is a critical early decision for low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia projects. Shell shows how gas-based partial oxidation (POx) can offer a potentially simpler and lower-cost route designed to deliver high carbon capture performance.

Continuously developed and adapted to evolving requirements, Uhde’s PRENFLO gasification technology can play a significant role in enabling the clean and sustainable production of syngas and syngas-derived products from an even broader range of carbonaceous feedstocks than ever before.

Topsoe explains how to avoid challenges and choose the optimal solutions for e-methanol plants based on CO2 feedstocks, electrolytic hydrogen and renewable power.

For many years confined to pilot projects and feasibility studies, biomass based gasification is seeing rapid take up in China for methanol production and may mark a new era in syngas generation.

Clariant says that its ShiftMax 100 RE catalyst is now in operation at INERATEC’s Era One e-fuels production plant in the Frankfurt Hoechst industrial park. The facility will transform around 8,000 t/a of CO2 into up to 2,500 t/a of synthetic fuels and waxes. The e-fuels produced at the INERATEC facility can be used as […]

Paralloy has developed Omega technology, an advanced reformer tube design that enhances heat transfer, gas turbulence, and process efficiency. Dr Dominique Flahaut of Paralloy explores the real-world implications of Omega reformer tubes.

Syngas generation units (SGU) represent a large portion of the capital and operational expenditure of ammonia plants and are critical from a mechanical reliability standpoint. Related capex/opex optimisation and mitigation of possible operational problems are key targets for ammonia plant owners. Giovanni Manenti introduces NITROQUENCH® technology which focuses on these key targets for ammonia SGU.

While there is still a considerable push for use of biomass waste as a lower carbon feedstock for chemical production via gasification to syngas, biological processes such as fermentation are increasingly gaining traction as an alternative.
