The document discusses Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and the development of the chemical industry in Bangladesh. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis involves converting syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) into liquid fuels like diesel and gasoline. Syngas can be produced from natural gas, coal, biomass or other feedstocks through processes like steam reforming. The Fischer-Tropsch process uses a catalyst to convert syngas into liquid hydrocarbons. The development of Bangladesh's chemical industry began in the 1940s with sugar mills and a cement plant. It was later developed during the Pakistani period and after Bangladesh gained independence in 1971.

1. Welcome to my presentation
.

3. My Presentation Topics
is
Fischer – Tropsch synthesis : Production of liquid
fuels from synthesis gas.
Development of chemical industry in bangladesh .

4. What is Synthesis gas ?
Syngas or synthesis gas is a fuel gas mixture consisting
of primarily hydrogen, carbon monoxide.
CH4 CO+H2
Syngas can be produced from :
 natural gas,
 coal,
 biomass,
 hydrocarbon feedstock.
.

5. Syngas can be produced by
Syngas can be produced by
 steam reforming reaction,
 dry reforming reaction or
 partial oxidation

6. What is Fischer Tropsch process?
The Fischer-Tropsch process is a catalyzed
chemical reaction in which carbon monoxide
and hydrogen are converted into liquid
hydrocarbons of various forms.

7. Feed stock of Fischer-tropsch process

8. Types of fischer tropsch synthesis
reactor
• Multi tubular fixed-bed reactor
• Entrained flow reactor
• Slurry Reactors
• Fluid-bed and circulating catalyst (riser) reactors

9. Products which obtain by FT

10. Liquid fuels from syn gas
The FT process start with partial oxidation of
methane (natural gas) to carbon dioxide
,carbon monoxide ,hydrogen gas and water.
The ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen is
adjusted using the water gas shift reaction
,while the excess carbon dioxide is removed
with aqueous solution of alkanolamines.

13. Development of chemical industries in
Bangladesh

14. Chemical industry
The Chemical Processing Industry encompasses a broad
range of products, including petrochemical and inorganic
chemicals, plastics, detergents, paints and pigments, and
more.
“The chemical industry is an industry where its raw materials
are distinguished more for their chemical properties than for
their physical or mechanical properties. It processes these raw
material into higher added value chemical products. The
processing may be by increased purity, increased
concentration, chemical reactions or a combination of the
above.”

15. Development of chemical industry in
Bangladesh
• the development of modern chemical industry in Bangladesh
what was geographically constituets of undivided Bengal and
asian provinces of India in1947 .
• The start come about with the stablishment of the sugar mills
at Setabgonj in the sugarcane producing region in 1993.
• A cement plant having a daily capacity of 250 tons of Portland
cement went into commercial production in Chhatak in 1941
using locally available clay, limesatone and coal.
• At the time of partition ,there were only five sugar mills and
one cement plant.

16.  The development of chemical industry in Bangladesh can be
divided into three period.
1.Pakistani period
1. Pakistan industrial development corporation period
2. Bangladesh period.

19. Bangladesh period
 When Bangladesh attained in independence on 16 December 1971. the
following project were under implementation by the EPIDC:
1. two sugar mills plus expansion of two mills.
2. paper mills (NBMP)
3. TSP at Chittagong
4. ammonia – urea ( UFFL)
5. cement clinker grinding factory at Chittagong.
