DOHA: First product from the $1bn Oryx gas-to-liquid (GTL) project will be available in the second quarter of this year, according to Oryx GTL general manager Chris Turner.
The commissioning of the world’s largest commercial GTL plant at Ras Laffan will be done before March-end, he said at the 11th International Middle East Gas Summit.
Oryx GTL is a 51:49 joint venture between QP and South Africa’s Sasol.
Turner said 97% work at the project site had already been completed.
Oryx GTL will have an installed production capacity of 34,000bpd of high performance and low emission GTL diesel, high-grade GTL naphtha and LPG. The commissioning of basic utilities such as water and electricity has been done.
The plant’s products slate carries a predominance of GTL diesel with GTL naphtha (at a ratio of around 3:1) and a small quantity of LPG.
The EPC contract to build the plant was awarded to Technip Coflexip.
Turner said there are tremendous economic prospects for GTL fuel in a world concerned about environmental standards and emission norms.
GTL diesel is almost sulphur-free and low in particulates and aromatics.
“We are a reliable producer of superior and environmentally friendly fuels and feedstock,” Turner said.
The technology suppliers to Oryx GTL are Air Products (air separation), Haldor Topsoe (synthesis gas production), Sasol (Fischer-Tropsch technology), ChevronTexaco (product workup) and Technip KTI (hydrogen production). The plant would use a three-stage Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate (SPD) process.
