Synfuels International - a company with a new GTL technology. Probably been mentioned upthread at some point. Amstocks pointed out this company. They claim to have a non Fischer-Tropsch GTL technology that is far cheaper. synfuels.com Synfuels International has developed an alternative to the syngas/Fischer-Tropsch methodology of natural gas conversion with a patented and proven process that significantly reduces capital and process costs in an environment that dramatically increases product throughput. The Synfuels technology is a GTL process that will produce similar or superior end products at a cost below competitive conventional technology. Since its inception in 1998, Synfuels has made significant progress, proving the Synfuels process works with the production of 95 octane fuel from natural gas in a pilot demonstration plant. The success of initial tests have generated worldwide interest resulting in our first fully operational demonstration plant operating for the benefit of gathering data for the construction of an economical and energy efficient commercial GTL plant. The new non Fischer-Tropsch method of conversion of natural gas to liquid has been deemed the Synfuels ECLAIRS Process — Ethylene from Concentrated Liquid-phase Acetylene - Integrated, Rapid and Safe. THE NEW SYNFUELS ECLAIRS TECHNOLOGY Refinements to existing Fischer-Tropsch processes are not likely to provide the order of magnitude change in economics needed to overcome the obstacles of inefficiency and high capital cost. GTL plants must be economical on a stand-alone basis at a much smaller scale than the mega-plants in order to facilitate a broader and faster commercialization by making it possible for liquid fuel to be marketed from the great multitude of stranded and associated gas fields. Smaller plants need smaller fields and require much less capital, allowing more companies and entities to participate. The new Synfuels GTL technology accomplishes these goals. It is a radically new process that achieves better investment returns than the mega-plants at a fraction of their capacity and capital requirements. There are thousands of gas fields capable of supporting a Synfuels GTL plant.
