Primus Green Energy is a gas-to-liquids technology (GTL) developer. Available as a modular system or as a licensed technology, the company’s solutions include Gas-to-Gasoline systems and Gas-to-Methanol systems. Based in New Jersey, Primus’ headquarters include facilities for design, engineering, operator training and remote operation, as well as R&D and catalyst development. Primus has been funded by its parent company, Kenon Holdings Ltd . == History == In 2007, Primus began development of its proprietary STG+ technology, an integrated GTL process that utilizes a single-loop approach to produce a flexible range of finished end products, including gasoline, methanol and diluent. Primus completed its pilot plant in 2010, which consisted of two units: a hydrocarbon gasifier/reformer to produce syngas and a gasoline synthesis unit that uses the STG+ process to convert that syngas into high-quality gasoline. In 2011, a third-party laboratory verified that the gasoline met or exceeded all ASTM standards for conventional gasoline. In 2012, Primus broke ground on a full-scale single-loop demonstration plant in Hillsborough, N.J., holding a dedication ceremony to commemorate the event. Several notable New Jersey politicians, including former Gov. James Florio, U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance, Board of Public Utilities Commissioner Joseph Fiordaliso and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Assistant Commissioner Robert Marshall, spoke at the dedication ceremony. Primus commissioned its full-scale demonstration plant in October 2013. The plant produces 100,000 gallons of high-quality gasoline from natural gas per year and can also produce methanol and diluent products. Primus held another ceremony to commemorate the event, with the speaking lineup being headlined by N.J. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, N.J. Sen. Christopher Bateman and Isreal Corporation’s President and CEO Nir Gilad. The ceremony also marked the first time that high-octane gasoline produced via Primus’ STG+ process was used to fuel the test drive of a car. In 2014, the company released results of an independent engineer’s report prepared by E3 Consulting LLC, which concluded that Primus’ technology exceeded expectations during plant operation. As of October 2015, Primus’ demonstration plant has achieved more than 7,000 hours of operation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Primus Green Energy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
