Fischer-Tropsch & Upgrading

The motor fuels sector faces a double challenge: provide an increasing quantity of ever-cleaner fuels and find sources that do not rely on crude oil. Our Gasel^TM Technology Suite answers this challenge through the conversion of synthesis gas (H₂+CO) from various origins - natural gas, biomass, and coal - into ultra-clean liquid fuels (XTL).

The Gasel^TM Technology Suite comprises:

the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) conversion of syngas and,
the Fischer-Tropsch products upgrading process using hydrocracking and hydro- isomerization.

Axens provides Gasel process design and licensing, and manufactures the associated catalysts.

Around Gasel, Axens proposes various services such as consulting for market/feasibility studies, catalyst management (fresh and used), or operations support for plant start-up and follow-up assistance.
