Houston-based FMC Technologies and Accentus of the UK, a subsidiary of AEA Technology, have formed a new gas-to-liquids (GTL) joint venture - GTL MicroSystems - for the commercial development of GTL technology. GTL MicroSystems believes its GTL technology will allow monetisation of gas reserves as small as 10mn cf/d, equivalent to 1,000 b/d, at lower per-barrel capital costs than offered by traditional, large-scale plants. The venture reports that analytical, laboratory and proof-of-concept trials have demonstrated the feasibility of manufacturing a compact, high-efficiency ‘process intensified’ (PI) GTL plant using microreactor technology, that can be located in space-restricted areas such as on offshore platforms, FPSOs or mobile skids. It is now seeking partners to assist in the design, construction and operation of a demonstration plant with a capacity of 100 b/d.
