On July 23, the thousand-ton-scale FTO synthesis α-olefin separation and purification demonstration plant of Inner Mongolia Yitai Group was successfully commissioned in Ordos, completing the entire process and producing qualified α-olefin products such as 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, and 1-octene. This marks a breakthrough in the key technology for the separation and purification of α-olefins via FTO synthesis, which possesses independent intellectual property rights. High-purity odd-carbon α-olefin products such as 1-pentene and 1-heptene have filled a gap in the domestic market. It is understood that this technology was independently developed and designed by Yitai Group in collaboration with CNOOC Tianjin Chemical Research and Design Institute Co., Ltd. and China Kunlun Engineering Corporation. Using coal-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesized oil as raw material, high-purity single-carbon α-olefin products are obtained through efficient separation. This technological approach is unique at the international level; 4 international PCT invention patents have been applied for, along with more than 30 Chinese invention patents. The successful development of high-purity α-olefin products via coal-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis has broken through foreign technological blockades and product monopolies. It will greatly accelerate the rapid growth of domestic industries related to advanced plastics, polyethylene elastomers (POE), fully synthetic lubricants, higher-carbon alcohols, surfactants, and other downstream new materials and fine chemicals. This development helps to extend, strengthen, and optimize the coal-to-oil industry chain, facilitating the transformation and upgrading of the coal chemical industry toward higher quality, greater diversity, and lower carbon emissions, with significant economic and social benefits.
I’ve carried out the separation of 10,000 tons of α-olefins, and there was no need for such excessive publicity
What are the economic benefits? After separating these alpha-olefins, how can the remaining Fischer-Tropsch oil be utilized? This is a crucial issue; otherwise, it will be difficult to make money!

Pilot plant for producing α-olefins from FTO oil by Ningxia Coal Industry successfully commissioned Author: Wu Fang Source: Ningxia Coal Industry Publication date: 2022-04-02 Font size: [Large Medium Small] On March 30, the pilot project at **Energy Group’s Ningxia Coal Industry for producing α-olefins from FTO oil at a rate of 8,000 tons per year completed the entire process successfully in just one trial run, filling the gap in China’s technology for purifying α-olefins through FTO synthesis.
What exactly is this FTO process?
