A program for testing a multifunctional full-cycle pilot complex for processing APG into synthetic hydrocarbons has been developed. The complex includes all the main stages of GTL technology: purification of the source gas from sulfur compounds, pre-reforming, basic reforming, cooling and drying of synthesis gas, synthesis of hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch method, separation of gaseous, liquid and solid products.

A bifunctional catalyst for the production of synthetic diesel fuel (DT) using the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) method has been developed. The catalyst is characterized by the methods of TPV H2, TPD H2, TPD NH3, RFA, SEM, PEM and has the following composition, mass%: 35 Co/SiO2, 30 HZSM-5, 30 Al2O3. The catalytic properties were studied in a flow reactor with a fixed catalyst layer at 2 MPa, OSG 1000 h-1, in the temperature range 230-250 ° C. The regularities between the temperature of synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO and H2, group and fractional compositions of products are established. The highest values of productivity and selectivity for C5+ hydrocarbons were achieved at 250 °C and are equal to 130 kg/(m3).·h) and 72.5%, respectively. The low-temperature properties of synthetic diesel fuel meet the requirements for winter diesel fuel.

Pilot tests were carried out to obtain synthetic diesel fuel from associated petroleum gas in a continuous mode for 500 hours. The principal possibility of creating a technology for producing winter diesel fuel from associated petroleum gases using the developed bifunctional catalyst is shown.
