Title: Andrew James Coe: Fischer–Tropsch Process Inventor.

Introduction

Andrew James Coe is an inventor based in London, United Kingdom, whose patent work concerns Fischer–Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis and related process operations. He is associated with Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies Limited and has 3 patents listed in the information provided.

Latest Patents

Coe’s listed patents address hydrocarbon production and the safe operation of Fischer–Tropsch reactors.

“Process for synthesising hydrocarbons” describes an integrated process that generates synthesis gas, removes carbon dioxide, and uses a Fischer–Tropsch unit to produce hydrocarbons. The process also uses electrolysis to supply oxygen to the synthesis-gas generation unit and hydrogen to a reverse water-gas shift unit, where recovered carbon dioxide is converted into carbon monoxide for the Fischer–Tropsch unit.

“Method for shutting down a Fischer-Tropsch reactor” describes a shutdown procedure that depressurises the reactor coolant to quench the reaction, stops the synthesis-gas feed, and maintains recycle-gas circulation to remove heat. The method is intended to support a safer shutdown and a faster return to operating conditions than a full shutdown.
