TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - CHEMICAL ENGINEERING - Preferred Method: In utilizing thermal energy of gases generated in BtL plant, the compressors and/or electric generators of the plant process stages are driven by steam turbines using the steam streams generated in the BtL plant processes that are superheated by the flue gases of a steam reformer, that is, small modular reactor (SMR) integrated with the BtL plant equipment and, additionally, to maximize the yield of end products of the BtL plant, hydrogen is recovered with the help of a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit. Superheating the saturated steam streams generated in the BtL processes substantially increases the self-supported electrical balance of the BtL and facilitates self-contained operation of the BtL plant as a stand-alone facility independent from another industrial plant or power utility, while simultaneously the yield of end product is maximized. The BtL plant has integrated a method for utilizing the thermal energy of the flue gases and/or reformed gas of a steam reformer for superheating the steam that is used in the BtL plant for driving a syngas turbo-compressor and/or producing electricity as well as improving the hydrogen yield, where water-gas shift (WGS) process is included having a steam reformer connected to PSA unit. It generates in its Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process different FT tail gases, that is, process rejects gases which are passed to a steam reformer, where the FT tail gases are reformed in such a way that the hydrocarbons of gases are reformed into hydrogen and substantially into carbon monoxide and further to carbon dioxide, from which gas stream after cooling in PSA unit hydrogen is recovered, whereupon the remaining gases are recirculated to a steam reformer for heating the steam reformer to a correct temperature of about 800-100 degrees C. Gases reformed in steam reformer and flue gases exiting the steam reformer are passed for cooling to a heat exchanger, where the thermal energy of the gas streams is used for superheating the saturated high-pressure steam exiting the gasifier. Heat exchanger comprises superheaters, where saturated high-pressure steam is superheated for compressor/turbine and that boilers and a superheater are employed for producing steam required in steam reforming. The compressor/turbine combination operating as a turbo-compressor is connected a steam condensation turbine, then passed the low-pressure and middle-high-pressure steam streams generated in the BtL plant and generator is provided for electricity generation.
