Objective
The main goal of the project is to develop a new technology for natural gas processing along the route: Methane --->Acetylene --> Artificial Liquid Fuel. The new technology has significant scientific, technological and economic advantages and has been shown to be feasible on a laboratory scale. The Combustion Problems Institute (Kazakhstan) has developed the essentials of complex methane processing technology obtaining acetylene and synthetic-gas (FIP-process) as products. The efficiency is much higher that with other processes making the process feasible for industrial utilisation. In addition, its cost is potentially lower that existing industrial processes. Various products obtained during FIP pyrolysis can be used for Fisher-Tropsh synthesis of various chemicals even without separation of the FIP product gases. The projects thus, also aims at optimising the conversion of these synthetic gases and their mixtures with acetylene into high-quality engine fuel using novel, highly active SHS (Self-Propagating High Temperature Synthesis) catalysts. The objective is to improve the efficiency of the process (increase in the initial methane conversion and acetylene and synthetic-gas product) and therefore to make the process industrially applicable. A further objective of the project is the development of a new reactor to carry out the conversion process at higher pressures. A pilot set up will be built as part of this project. The project will aim at utilisation of the coal fields of the Republic of Kazakhstan which will enable field trials and further application of the process.
