The Oxford Catalyst Group won the Rushlight Fossil Fuels Award for their microchannel gas to liquids (GTL) technology. They were also named as overall winner in the Energy Environment Category and was named as a highly commended runner-up in the competition for the overall Rushlight Awards.
“We are very honoured to receive the Rushlight Fossil Fuels and Energy Environment awards because they specifically recognise the environmental and commercial significance of our activities in GTL,” said Andrew Holwell, business development manager at the Oxford Catalyst Group.
“They also endorse the wider environmental and sustainable potential of microchannel progress technology, which can change the way fuels and chemicals are made,” he added.
The microchannel GTL offers a practical way to enable cost-effective small scale transformation of associated and stranded gas via GTL into a high quality synthetic crude that can be handled using existing infrastructure. The Oxford Catalyst Group has developed which includes Fischer-Tropsch (FT) and steam methane reforming (SMR) reactors for the process, which has a small carbon footprint and can operate economically producing 500 barrels per day.
