Description

This lecture examines the ancient roots of the Shell Gas to Liquids (GTL) process, starting with the first steps to gasify coal and its leapfrog evolution to the current process, culminating in the Pearl GTL plant in Qatar with a capacity of 140,000 barrels/day (bbl/d) of GTL products. It also discusses the specific properties and applications of the very diverse GTL products.

CURRICULUM VITAE Ir. Tom J. REMANS:

Tom Remans is employed by Shell as principal process engineer for Gas to Liquids (GTL) at the Shell Technology Center in Amsterdam, also known as the STCA. His current work includes the development and commercialisation of new GTL technologies as well as technical support to the Shell GTL plants in Malaysia and Qatar.

Tom has 25 years of experience in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, besides GTL also in catalytic processes for desulphurisation, cracking and dewaxing of refinery streams and in selective oxidation for chemistry applications. Tom holds a master's degree in biochemical engineering, specialising in both heterogeneous catalysis and genetic engineering, and a PhD in heterogeneous catalysis from the Catholic University of Leuven.
