Lurgi‘s FT Experience
Lurgi designed the syngas production unitsof all FT-plants currently in commercial operation
Sasol/Secunda (coal gasification)Mossgas (combined reforming of NG)SMDS/Bintulu (partial oxidation of NG)
Commercialisation of ARGE-synthesis in 1952location: Sasolburg / South Africastart up: 1955no. of reactors: 5
All original reactors still in operation today;extension of capacity in 1987 (+ 1 reactor)
Modern FT Reactor TechnologySlurry phase reactor (by far preferred); tubular reactor; fluidised bed reactor
Lurgi has commercial experience in all these reactor technologies

Lurgi‘s FT Experience II
Today, Lurgi MegaSyn® is available for FT Syntheses as well as for MtSynfuels®, Lurgi’s route through methanol to transportation fuels.
Lurgi also is active again in the FT-field –as JV partner in the company GTL.F1 which is developing/commercialising a modern FT-technology.
