M100

Modular transportable gas-to-liquids unit based on the direct conversion of natural gas into synthetic oil

Product

Light synthetic oil with unique quality characteristics:

  • More than 95% of liquid light fractions (FBP <360 °C).
  • No sulphur and aromatics.
  • Large fraction of iso-paraffins and olefins.
  • High (up to 70) cetane number for diesel fuel.
  • Large (up to 45%) of jet fuel fraction.
Footprint
400
square metersISBL only

M100 guarantees 100 barrels of synthetic oil (60/40 mixture of gasoline and diesel fractions with high share of jet fuel) from 1 million cubic feet of gas per day (methane equivalent).

INFRA’s Gas-To-Liquid products are fully compatible with the existing oil industry infrastructure, processes and technologies and with the existing fleet of transportation vehicles. Its premium synthetic fuels correspond to the highest ecological requirements: zero aromatics, zero sulphur, zero nitrogen, etc. INFRA’s synthetic oil easily mixes and can be transported with mineral oil.

Key Features
  • Eliminates flaring in an economically feasible manner.
  • Converts 1 million standard cubic feet of gas per day into 100 barrels of premium synthetic crude. High value.
  • No by-products.
  • Easily relocated. Modular.
Key benefits
  • Low CAPEX and OPEX.
  • Produce high quality single liquid product – synthetic crude (no heavy waxes) which does not require hydrocracking and upgrading, and mixes well with crude oil.
  • Stable product. No by-products.
  • Synthetic crude is fully compatible with the existing oil infrastructure and is easily upgradable to diesel.
  • Processes feed gas with varying density.
  • Handles CO2 rich gas (up to 25% in feed increases the productivity).
  • No requirements for NGL & nitrogen removal from feed gas.
  • High carbon efficiency.
  • Modular, compact and movable containerized design.
  • Self-sustained process (no-grid electricity and no fresh water required). No requirement for continuous flaring.
