Technical Feasibility of Small-Scale GTL Process towards Heat Integration: A Case Study of Nongtum A Reservoir in Thailand

Abstract:

Natural gas can be a raw material to produce synthetic liquid fuels via Gas to Liquid process (GTL). The process is consist of 4 main parts which are cleaning unit, reforming unit, Fischer-Tropsch unit (FT) and product upgrading unit. To evaluate potential of having this kind of process for Nongtum A Reservoir, Thailand, technical feasibility of GTL process towards heat integration needed to be done. This work presented a process model, combined heat and power (gas generation) of Nongtum A Reservoir by using the total heat integration concept. Volume of natural gas at Nongtum A Reservoir is 56,634 m³/day at 10 bar, and 40 deg.C. ResuIts of the model simulation are the overall thermal efficiency of 10.32% to 14.88%, gasoline product of 435 to 575 bbl/day, and diesel product of 621 to 947 bbl/day depending upon a split ratio of natural gas to gas generation.
