METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF LIQUID SYNTHETIC MOTOR FUELS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: motor fuel production. SUBSTANCE: production process: synthesis of methanol, separation of resulting water and gaseous product, synthesis of higher hydrocarbons preferably from methanol, use of the latter in preparation of motor fuel and separation of water and gas. Removed gases are burned and water and combustion products form high-pressure and high-temperature vapor- gas mix, which is used as heat carrier in other process stages or as source of heat to be transformed into electric power for use in the same process stages. When cooled, vapor-gas mixture is separated into combustion products an water. Part of the latter is used in the process. EFFECT: reduced power consumption. 5 cl, 1 dwg
