석유자원 고갈, 높은 원유가격 문제 그리고 온실가스인 $CO_2$ 에 의한 지구온난화 문제 때문에 바이오 매스를 이용한 GTL(Gas To Liquid) 공정으로 제조하는 청정 합성연료에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GTL 기술의 3가지 핵심인 천연가스 개질반응, 피셔-트롭스 합성 그리고 물성조절 공정에 관한 기술을 설명하고 각국의 개발현황을 비교하였다.

A simulation study on synthesis gas process in GTL process was carried out in order to find optimum operation conditions for GTL (gas-to-liquid) pilot plant design. Optimum operating conditions for synthesis gas process were determined by changing reaction variables such as feed temperature and pressure. During the simulation, overall synthesis process was assumed to proceed under steady-state conditions. It was also assumed that physical properties of reaction medium were governed by RKS (Redlich-Kwong-Soave) equation. The effect of temperature and pressure on synthesis gas process $H_2$/CO ratio were mainly examined. Simulation results were also compared to experimental results to confirm the reliability of simulation model. Simulation results were reasonably well matched with experimental results.

GTL (Gas To Liquid) has the potential to be used in diesel engines as a clean alternative fuel due to advantages in emission reduction, particularly soot reduction. Since the physical properties of GTL fuel differ from those of diesel fuel to some extent, studying how this difference in characteristics of GTL and diesel fuels affects spray and combustion in diesel engines is important. In this study, visual investigation of sprays and flames from GTL and diesel fuels in a vessel simulating diesel combustion was implemented. The effects of various parameters and conditions, such as injection pressure, chamber temperature and pilot injection on liquid-phase fuel length and auto-ignition delay were investigated. It was determined that GTL has a somewhat shorter liquid-phase fuel length, which explains why there is less contact between the fuel liquid-phase and flame for GTL fuel compared to diesel fuel.

일산화탄소(CO)와 수소($H_2$)로부터 Fischer-Tropsch반응을 통해 합성된 GTL (gas-to-liquid)연료는 친환경적인 연료로 기존의 석유디젤을 대체, 또는 혼합하여 사용될 수 있는 연료로 크게 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Shell사에서 생산된 GTL연료와 국내유통중인 석유디젤을 일정 비율로 혼합하여 농도 별 연료특성을 분석하였다. 가스크로마토그래피를 이용해 GTL이 일반디젤보다 긴 파라핀계 화합물로 구성되어져 있음을 확인하였으며, 높은 인화점, 증류성상, 동점도, 유도세탄가와 함께, 낮은 황분으로 인한 윤활성감소를 보여주었다.

최근 신 고유가 시대를 맞이하여 천연가스를 이용한 합성석유 제조기술 개발의 중요성이 점차로 부각되고 있는 상황이다. GTL(Gas-to-Liquids) 공청은 현재의 고유가 상황에서 경쟁력 있는 사업 분야를 제공 할 것으로 분석되고, GTL 제품은 환경오염물질이 거의 없어 21 세기의 환경규제 강화 추세에 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 청정연료이다. GTL 공정은 크게 천연가스의 주성분인 메탄의 리포밍 반응을 거쳐 합성가스 ($CO+H_{2}$)를 제조하는 단계, 이 합성가스로부터 FT 합성반응을 통하여 액체 합성원유를 제조하는 단계, 합성원유를 개질하는 단계 (수첨분해/수첨이성질화)로 이루어진다. 본 총설에서는 GTL 기술의 개요와 세계적인 개발 동향을 천연가스 reforming 기술과 FT 합성유 제조 기술에 중점을 두고서 소개하고자 한다.

Due to increasing need for better emission characteristics and lower fuel consumption rate in automotive engines, alternative fuels are drawing more attentions recently. The GTL (gas to liquid) is the one of most favored candidates. In this study, emission characteristics are compared between diesel and GTL fuel in commercial 2.0 liter diesel engine and vehicle with CRDi(Common Rail Direct injection) system. The effects of injection timings on emission and fuel consumption rate are compared at various engine speeds and loads. Noticeable reduction in HC, CO and PM emissions are observed due to higher cetane number and low sulfur and aromatic contents in GTL. On the trade-off curve of NOx and PM(Particulate matter) GTL showed much more benefits than diesel, where about 30% of PM mass decreased at the same operating conditions. On CVS 75 mode test in vehicle, GTL showed an excellent emission enhancement, in which 50% of HC, 21% of PM, and 12% of NOx engine-out emissions are decreased compared to ULSD(Ultra low sulfur diesel) fuel.

GTL(gas-to-liquid) fuel produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process using carbon monoxide(CO) and hydrogen(H2) is expected to be one of the environmental friendly fuel for alternative and blended to petrodiesel. But GTL have poor lubricity due to paraffin as main component of GTL which is not involve polar materials. In this paper, we had investigated the lubricity improvement of GTL fuels with various lubricants using HFRR(high frequency reciprocating rig).

This paper investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of a compression ignition engine fueled with neat and blended Shell's gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuel, which was derived from natural gas through the Fischer-Tropsch process. The experiments were conducted in a 6-cylinder DI diesel engine with pump timing settings of $6^{\circ},\;9^{\circ}\;and\;12^{\circ}$crank angle before TDC over ECE R49 and US 13-mode cycles separately and compared to a conventional diesel fuel. The results show that GTL exhibited almost the same power and torque output, improved fuel economy and effective thermal efficiency. It was found that GTL displayed lower peak in-cylinder combustion pressure and maximum heat release rate (HRR), the timings of the peak pressure and the maximum HRR were generally delayed, and the combustion durations were almost equivalent for diesel and GTL under the same speed-load condition. The results also indicate that, compared to diesel fuel, GTL blends showed a trend forward decreasing four regulated emissions simultaneously and a higher GTL fraction in blends contributing to further reductions in the emissions. In particular and on average, neat GTL significantly reduced HC, CO, NOx and PM by 16.4%, 17.8%, 18.3% and 32.4%, respectively, for all cases.

A simulation study on SCR (Steam Carbon dioxide Reforming) process in gas-to-liquid (natural gas to Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuel) process was carried out in order to find optimum reaction conditions for GTL (gas-to-liquid) process reaction. Optimum SCR operating conditions for synthesis gas to FT (Fischer-Tropsch) process were determined by changing reaction variables such as feed temperature and pressure. During the simulation, overall synthesis process was assumed to proceed under steady-state conditions. It was also assumed that physical properties of reaction medium were governed by RKS (Redlich-Kwong-Soave) equation. SCR process was considered as reaction models for synthesis gas in GTL proess. The effect of temperature and pressure on SCR process $H_2$/CO ratio and the effect of reaction pressure on SCR reaction were mainly examined. Simulation results were also compared to experimental results to confirm the reliability of simulation model. Simulation results were reasonably well matched with experimental results.
