Abstract: A method of producing fuel from CO2 comprising introducing natural gas, steam, and recovered CO2 to a reformer to produce unshifted syngas characterized by a molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide of from about 1.7:1 to about 2.5:1; introducing the unshifted syngas to a water gas shift unit to produce a shifted syngas, wherein an amount of CO2 in the shifted syngas is greater than in the unshifted syngas; separating the CO2 from the shifted syngas to produce recycle CO2 and a hydrogen-enriched syngas; recycling the recycle CO2 to the reformer, introducing the unshifted syngas to a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) unit to produce an FT product, FT water, and FT tail gas, wherein the FT product comprises FT liquids and FT wax; and separating the FT liquids from the FT product to produce a fuel.

Abstract: The various processes of a plant may be segmented into separate process blocks, which may be interconnected using fluid conduits and/or electrical connections. These process blocks may be directly connected, for example without an external piperack interconnecting process blocks. In some embodiments, each process block may be formed of one or more modules. The process-based nature of this modular approach, along with the optional lack of an external interconnecting piperack, may provide benefits over conventional modular plant design.

Abstract: Plants, processes, and methods for reducing the H2S and CO2 contents of shale gasses from fields that produce shale gasses having varying H2S and CO2 contents are provided. Acid gas enters an absorber and is scrubbed using a lean physical solvent, producing a treated gas and a rich physical solvent. The H2S content of the treated gas is further reduced in an amine absorber, producing a pipeline gas and a semi-lean amine. The pipeline gas contains lower levels of H2S and CO2 than gas produced using a polishing bed. A physical solvent regeneration unit regenerates the lean physical solvent from the rich physical solvent for feeding into the absorption unit. An amine regeneration unit regenerates the lean amine from the semi-lean amine for feeding into the amine absorber. Contemplated plants may further comprise a Claus Unit or a Redox unit for oxidizing H2S to elemental sulfur.

Abstract: Electronic comparison methods are described for determining changes in a current design model with respect to an earlier model and analyzing the impact of the identified changes. The method includes associating a priority value with a set of modified component objects using one or more algorithms and presenting a subset of the set of component objects, each of which has a priority value greater than a threshold value.
