Definitions
- the separated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid comprises a fuel additive; and said fuel additive is added to a petroleum fuel feedstock to provide a product with less than about 0.05 wt. % sulfur and less than about 10 wt. % aromatics, and wherein the resultant product comprises the fuel-cell fuel.
- the fuel cell operating method comprises the steps of: providing a fuel cell fuel comprising a light Fischer-Tropsch liquid having at least 77 wt. % normal and iso-paraffins, less than 20 wt. % olefins, less than 9 wt. % alcohols, less than 0.001 wt. % sulfur, and less than 5 wt. % aromatics; and supplying the fuel-cell fuel to the fuel cell to produce electrical energy therefrom.
- Certain embodiments of the fuel-cell fuel can readily be handled in the same fuel distribution systems used for distributing and dispensing internal combustion engine fuels such as gasoline and diesel fuel.
- refueling would be no more complicated than fueling a car today, and would involve none of the toxicity concerns of methanol
- a fuel cell fuel from the Fischer-Tropsch process as described herein that contains substantially no sulfur, no or minimal aromatics, and only small amounts of olefins and alcohol, many of the present complications of gasoline reforming for fuel cells are eliminated.
- Fuel cell fuel processor systems no longer need to scrub sulfur, chorine, and metal from the processor gas stream. The task of removing sulfur from the hydrogen feed stream before it can damage the fuel cell is all but eliminated. Implications of a clean, substantially sulfur-free fuel cell fuel with no or minimal aromatics are interesting.
- F-T (Fischer-Tropsch)-alcohol fuel cell fuel blends in which paraffins are replaced by alcohol(s) of equivalent or lesser carbon number have lower pour- point temperatures than those of F-T neat. This is due to the presence of the alcohol or alcohols in the blends. Thus, such blends may have lower start-up temperatures in the presence of some catalysts. These blends also have a hydrogen carrying capacity which is higher than that of pure alcohol or alcohol fuel cell fuel blends and proportional to the F-T component of the F-T-alcohol blend fuel cell fuel.
- Another advantage is that the fuel-cell fuel can be made from feedstock natural gas generally available worldwide.
- the light F-T liquid product delivered to conduit 130 may be further separated as necessary to produce a product in the range of from about C 4 or C5 to about C18 or to about C 20 or to about C 22 , or in the range of about C 10 to about C 2 o or preferably in the range of about C 5 to about C 9 , having the following characteristics: at least 77 wt. % normal and iso-paraffins, less than 20 wt. % olefins, less than 9 wt. % alcohols, less than 0.001 wt. % sulfur, and less than 10 wt. % aromatics (preferably less than 5 wt. % aromatics, and more preferably still less than 1 wt. % aromatics).
- the product makes a good fuel-cell fuel.
- Feed 414 includes F-T light oils that are preferably C 4 -C 2 ⁇ paraffins, olefins, and alcohols.
- the gaseous remains, or tailgas, of cooling unit 408 are discharged as stream 416 which may be used elsewhere in system 400 or may be used in the synthesis gas system or a fuel cell system or other processes as a fuel.
- Stream 416 includes diluent, H2, CO, CH 4 and some minor compounds.
