Gas to liquid (GTL) is a process that converts natural gas to liquid fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, and waxes. GTL conversion starts with natural gas—which is mostly methane—and converts it to a mixture called syngas (hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide). The syngas is cleaned to remove sulfur, water, and carbon dioxide to prevent catalyst contamination. A reaction is initiated to combine hydrogen with carbon monoxide to form different liquid hydrocarbons. These liquid products are further refined into liquid fuels.</p><p><a href="/sites/therminol/files/documents/TF-05_HTF-Oil-Gas-Industry.pdf" target="_blank">Heat transfer fluids for the oil and gas industry (PDF)</a></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
