A method for meeting both base-load and peak-load demand in a power production facility. By integrating a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) hydrocarbon production facility with an electrical power generating facility, peak-load power demand can be met by reducing the temperature of the FT reactor thereby increasing the quantity of tail gases and using FT tail gases to fuel a gas turbine generator set. The method enables rapid power response and allows the synthesis gas generating units and the FT units to operate with constant flow rates.

Method for providing auxiliary power to an electric power plant using fischer tropsch technology

A gasification plant and methods for producing ammonia, Fischer-Tropsch fuels, electrical power, and/or sulfur from carbon-bearing feedstocks including coal and/or petroleum coke. Methods for production of desired relative amounts of ammonia and Fischer-Tropsch liquid hydrocarbons by adjusting the amount of synthesis gas bypassing the Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The multi-product and integrated plants may be used to reduce the amount of COvented into the atmosphere during the production of these products.

Process for the production of ammonia and Fischer-Tropsch liquids

An arrangement of cooling tubes within a Fischer-Tropsch slurry reactor simplifies removal and reinstallation of cooling tubes for reactor maintenance.

Fischer-tropsch slurry reactor cooling tube arrangement

A process is described in which the waste gas from the production of acetylene is employed in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbon liquids. The process consists of the steps of collecting the waste gas, compressing it to the proper pressure, passing the compressed gas into a reactor containing a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst under the proper conditions of temperature, pressure, and space velocity, and collecting the liquid products thereby formed from the waste gas stream.
