An Adventure in Catalysis: The Story of the BP Fischer–Tropsch Catalyst from Laboratory to Full-Scale Demonstration in Alaska

Proxy-based accelerated discovery of Fischer–Tropsch catalysts

“…21 Shell report that a shutdown to regenerate their catalyst is required every 9–12 months. 22 Desired total catalyst lifetimes have been given as four years by BP 23 or five years by Shell. 24 Due to the expense and scarcity of FTS catalyst components such as Co and Ru, as well as the cost of plant shutdowns it is desirable to increase this lifetime.…”

Gas to liquids: A technology for natural gas industrialization in Bolivia

“…(Perego et al, 2009;Remans et al, 2008;Dancuart and Steynberg, 2007;Leckel, 2009;Lu and Lee, 2007;Font Freide et al, 2003;Davis, 2002;Font Freide et al, 2007 In general, these products include: LPG, naphtha, kerosene, base oils, gas oils, lube oils, and wax. The LPG can be used either as fuel or as petrochemical feedstock.…”

Sustainable Chemical Technologies – Development Trends and Tools

“…Among the reviews published recently are those dealing with green chemistry [7], renewable raw materials [8], C 1 chemistry and methane [9,10], clean fuels [11], syngas [12], trends in catalysis [13,14], nanotechnology [15], miniaturization [16], separation [17], innovations for sustainability [18,19], and others. Certain general and detailed opinions were also expressed in previous papers by the author [1-3, 20, 21].…”
