A novel method to evaluate synthetic fuel options for gas turbines in terms of O-ring swelling
Before 1999, all commercial aviation fuel had been produced from petroleum feedstock. With the growth in demand, it has put significant strain on the availability of jet fuel at Oliver Tambo International Airport (ORTIA). In 2008, Sasol was granted an approval to use fully synthetic jet fuel upon …

Synthesis, characterisation, and evaluation of supported cobalt molybdenum nitride for Fischer-Tropsch reaction
… natural gas to hydrocarbon products including synthetic fuel depending on the catalysts and operating conditions. Australia has 25% of world's natural gas resources hence Australia's crude oil dependency can be reduced extensively by developing catalysts that will facilitate the technique of …

Parametric study of heavy metal partitioning in a pilot scale incinerator burning simulated municipal solid waste
… characterized and operated at NJIT. A synthetic fuel representative of the municipal solid waste in the United States was formulated and produced in 600 lb batches. The synthetic fuel was in the form of solid pellets and was characterized by standard ASTM tests. The solid fuel contained …

Combustion characteristics of synthetic gasoline in modern charge boosted GDI Engines
Sasols synthetically derived gasoline blending components have traditionally been combined predominantly according to process economics to formulate commercial fuel blends that meet in-house fit-for-purpose requirements and the legislated fuel specifications in South Africa. In this study the …

Carbon Dioxide Gas Separation from Syngas to Increase Conversion of Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction via Polymeric and Mixed Matrix Membranes
… be used in the Fischer-Tropsch process to create synthetic fuel, turning stationary CO2 emissions into a useable resource. A literature review was performed to select suitable polymers with high CO2 permeability and selectivities of CO2 over CO and H2. PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) was selected and …

Hydrogeology and Chemical Characterization of Hydrocarbon in Domestic Water Wells, Rancho Villa Subdivision, Rogers, Arkansas
… of abundant gasoline and diesel range n-alkanes. Synthetic fuel additives also were detected in the samples. These findings suggest the contamination is from a fuel spill and is not naturally occurring. The carbonate aquifer in the study area is karstified, with anisotropic flow. The contaminant …

The characterisation and cetane number determination of synthetic diesel fuels
South African synthetic fuel plants produce large quantities of lower alkenes which can be catalytically oligomerized to liquid transportation fuels. In the screening of experimental catalysts for the production of diesel-range fuels, it is important to measure the quality, as well as the quantity, …

The effects of low aspect ratio and heat exchanging internals on the bubble properties and flow regime in a pilot-plant bubble/slurry bubble column for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
… the syngas mixture of CO and H<sub>2</sub> to synthetic fuel and chemicals that executed commercially by using the bubble/slurry bubble column reactor. The experimental results reveal that the investigated parameters, in terms the presence of internals, and reducing the aspect ratio and the …

Multi-vector Energy Systems Analysis for Heavy-duty Transportation Deep Decarbonization Using H₂ and Synthetic Fuels
… produced via electricity for displacing fossil fuels in difficult-toelectrify sectors. One such use case is heavy-duty transport, which represents a substantial and growing share of global transport sector emissions given the increasing electrification of the light duty vehicle fleet. Here, we …

Nuclear tanker producing liquid fuels from air and water
… have the potential to create a shipboard liquid fuel production system that will ease the burdened cost of supplying fuel to deployed naval ships and aircraft. Based upon historical data provided by the US Navy (USN), the tanker ship must supply 6,400 BBL/Day of fuel (JP-5) to accommodate the …

The effect of hydrocarbon exposure and temperature on the behaviour of elastomeric seals
Synthetic jet fuels have been proposed as alternatives to petroleum Jet A-1. Compatibility issues, however, are of concern; specifically the interaction of synthetic fuels with polymeric materials which are commonly used to seal fuel systems. This is because of differences between the composition …

A technical, economic, and environmental assessment of Power-to-X applications for heavy-duty transport
… with a source of CO2, for the production of synthetic hydrocarbons. Power-to-X systems have been suggested as a novel pathway to indirectly electrify modes of transport where direct electrification is not technically feasible but there is still uncertainty surrounding it’s economic and …

The effect of different chemical classes on the swelling of NBR O-rings in blends with synthetic paraffinic kerosene
Synthetic jet fuels provide a number of benefits over petroleum-derived fuels. They have thus been considered as alternative fuels. Compatibility issues, however, are of concern; specifically the interaction of synthetic fuels with polymeric materials which are commonly used to seal fuel systems. …

Adding ammonia during Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Pathways to the formation of N-containing compounds
… process, better known for its ability to produce synthetic fuel via the hydrogenation of CO, has shown potential to produce valuable chemicals when ammonia is added to the feed. In this work certain aspects of the pathway to the formation of N-containing compounds that form when NH₃ is added …

CO AND CO2 HYDROGENATION BY FISCHER TROPSCH SYNTHESIS PROMOTED WITH IRON BASED HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS: DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESS DESIGN
… approach to mitigate CO2 is its conversion into fuels and chemicals through processes such as Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis. Traditionally, FT relies on syngas (CO/H2) over transition-metal catalysts, but the direct hydrogenation of CO2 has been less explored, particularly with Fe-based …
