Systems And Methods For Producing Liquid Fuels From Landfill Gases

A system for producing liquid fuel from landfill gas, the system comprising:

• a single tri-reformer reactor that receives landfill gas and performs a tri-reforming process on the landfill gas, the tri-reforming process combining carbon dioxide reforming, steam reforming, water-gas shifting, and methane oxidation, wherein the tri-reforming process produces synthesis gas having a H2:CO ratio of approximately 2:1;
• and
• a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reactor that receives the synthesis gas from the tri-reformer reactor and produces liquid fuel;
• wherein the system comprises no other reactors that assist in generating the liquid fuel from the landfill gas.
