The company will deliver proprietary equipment for two synthesis gas trains, each including autothermal reformers (ATRs), waste heat boilers, steam drums, CTS burners, refractory materials, and HTZR target tiles. OLTIN YO'L GTL will produce synthetic diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha based on local natural gas.
“In English, OLTIN YO’L means 'golden road' and this project will help set Uzbekistan on a golden road of development. We will produce some of the cleanest and most advanced transport fuels in the world – and we will add one of the world's most advanced technologies to Uzbekistan's already impressive energy industry. Topsoe’s world-leading synthesis gas process is a very welcome contribution,” said Fakhriddin Abdurasulov, General Director, OLTIN Y’OL GTL.
Topsoe’s synthesis gas technology is the first step of the Sasol’s Slurry Phase Distillate Process, which is the core process of the plant. Sasol Technology has been appointed single point licensor, and Hyundai Engineering Co. is the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partner.
Uzbekneftegaz is the shareholder of OLTIN YO’L.
