Hi Doc. My intention was NOT to insinuate that RNTKs process is no different than those used in the 50's. On the contrary, RNTK process is based on an iron catalyst used in South Africa in the 1950s. RNTK has several new patents and variations on the old technologies. It is a fact that many past GTL projects featuring not only iron based catalysts but cobalt based catalysts, have been shelved for a variety of reasons, mostly economic. For a reference on "the 50s" please read: che.com Also from Rentech's CEO at the Bloomberg Conference: gastoliquids.com We'll find out in the coming weeks and months which technologies and GTL processes will eventually win out among the big oils. My thinking is that it will be Syntroleum.
