A process for converting natural gas to a liquid includes heating the gas to a selected range of temperature to convert a fraction of the gas stream to reactive hydrocarbons, primarily acetylene, and reacting methane and the reactive hydrocarbons in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce a liquid, predominantly pentane. Hydrogen resulting from the reactions is used to heat the incoming natural gas, either with a hydrogen furnace or by electrical energy generated from the hydrogen. Little or no use of methane is required to supply energy for the process.

Un procédé de transformation de gaz naturel en un liquide consiste à chauffer le gaz dans une plage de températures sélectionnée afin de transformer une fraction du flux de gaz en hydrocarbures réactifs, essentiellement de l'acétylène, et à faire réagir du méthane et les hydrocarbures réactifs en la présence d'un catalyseur acide pour produire un liquide, essentiellement du pentane. L'hydrogène provenant des réactions est utilisé pour chauffer le gaz naturel entrant, soit avec un four à hydrogène soit par énergie électrique générée par l'hydrogène. On utilise peu ou pas de méthane comme apport d'énergie pour le processus.
