Commercialization is set for another Fischer-Tropsch process

Article Abstract:

Rentech Inc.'s Fischer-Tropsch process will be employed by Donyia Polo Petrochemicals Ltd. of Mumbai, India, to transform 100,000 m3/d of natural gas into 60 bbl/d of mixed naphtha and diesel fuel and 300 bbl/d of wax. Rentech Vice-President of R&D Charles Benham stresses that the Indian factory will reflect the first full-scale utilization of the former's technology. Meanwhile, Denver, CO-based Rentech also licensed the process to White Plains, NY-based Texaco, which intends to employ the technology in consolidation with its own gasification process that generates synthesis gas by partial oxidation of carbon feedstocks.

A better route to alkoxysilanes

Article Abstract:

The top prize at the 1999 Kirpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Awards was given to CK Witco Inc for its imaginative organofunctional- alkoxysilanes technology. The Tarrytown, NY-based company was recognized for developing the Direct Trimethoxysilane (TMS) process that allows the production of alkoxysilane without the associate need for a chlorosilane plant and a large TMS inventory.
