Systems, methods and apparatus for producing sustainable aviation fuel

A sustainable aviation fuel production system to produce sustainable aviation fuel from a dry natural gas, the sustainable aviation fuel production system comprising:

• a sustainable aviation fuel system which produces the sustainable aviation fuel from the dry natural gas;
• a natural gas plant which is operably coupled to the sustainable aviation fuel system via a first pipeline;
• a natural gas collection point operably coupled to the natural gas plant via a second pipeline;
• and
• a wellhead that is operably coupled to the natural gas collection point via a third pipeline,
• wherein the sustainable aviation fuel system further comprises:
• a natural gas reforming apparatus that receives the dry natural gas and that produces synthetic gas from the dry natural gas;
• a Fischer-Tropsch conversion apparatus that is directly and operably coupled to the natural gas reforming apparatus and that receives the synthetic gas and produces a hydrocarbon chain from the synthetic gas, wherein the Fischer-Tropsch conversion apparatus further comprises a membrane separator that is operably coupled to a guard bed that is operably coupled to a Fischer-Tropsch converter being operably coupled to a steam drum, the Fischer-Tropsch converter being operably coupled to a wax trap which is operably coupled to a heat exchanger which is operably coupled to a converter separator that outputs tail gas, the converter separator is also operably coupled to an oil/water cyclone which is operably coupled to a condenser which is operably coupled to a condensate pump which outputs synthetic water, the converter separator and the wax trap are both operably coupled to a wax degasser which is operably coupled to a wax pump which outputs wax;
• and
• a product upgrading apparatus that is operably coupled to the Fischer-Tropsch conversion apparatus that receives the hydrocarbon chain and that produces the sustainable aviation fuel from the hydrocarbon chain, wherein the product upgrading apparatus further comprises a pressure swing adsorption device that is operably coupled to an H2 compressor which is operably coupled to a hydrocracker which is operably coupled to product separation drums, which is operably coupled to a production pump.
