Abstract

The invention provides a method of utilising Low Temperature Fisher-Tropsch wastewater, which method includes the step of conducting Low Temperature Fisher-Tropsch wastewater to a saturator column of a Synthesis Gas Production Unit for saturating a hydrocarbon gas stream of the Synthesis Gas Production Unit.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 09 November 2005 (09.11.05); original claims 1-8 replaced by new claims 1-5 (1 page)]Claims
1. A method of utilising Low Temperature Fisher-Tropsch wastewater, which method includes the step of conducting Low Temperature Fisher-Tropsch wastewater to a saturator column of a Synthesis Gas Production Unit for saturating a hydrocarbon gas stream of the Synthesis Gas Production Unit, wherein the Low Temperature Fisher- Tropsch wastewater is routed from upstream a primary distillation section to the saturator column.
2. A method as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the Low Temperature Fisher-Tropsch wastewater is used for saturation with any other water source.
3. A method as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2, wherein the Low Temperature Fisher-Tropsch wastewater is routed from both before a primary distillation section and from the primary distillation section to the saturator column.
4. A method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, which includes the step of recovering water from synthesis condensate for use as boiler feed water.
5. A method of utilising Low Temperature Fisher-Trδpsch wastewater substantially as described and claimed herein.
