Natural gas is processed to generate longer-chain hydrocarbons, the process comprising subjecting the gas to steam reforming to generate a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and then subjecting this mixture to Fischer- Tropsch synthesis. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is performed at an elevated temperature above 230 ~C and with a gas hourly space velocity greater than 10 000 hr-1 so as to achieve a selectivity to the production of C5+ hydrocarbons that is less than 65%. The resulting liquid product can be used as a vehicle fuel, while the tail gases may be used to generate electricity.

Le gaz naturel est traité afin d'obtenir des hydrocarbures à chaîne plus longue, le traitement consiste à soumettre le gaz à un écoulement de reformation permettant de regénérer un mélange de monoxyde de carbone et d'hydrogène, puis à soumettre ce mélange à une synthèse Fischer-Tropsch. La synthèse Fischer-Tropsch est réalisée à une température élevée au-dessus de 230? ·¿C et à une vitesse spatiale du gaz par heure supérieure à 10 000 h?-1 ¿de manière à atteindre la sélectivité de la production de C5+ hydrocarbures inférieure à 65 %. Le produit liquide obtenu peut servir de carburant pour véhicule, alors que les gaz résiduels peuvent servir à générer de l'électricité.
