Optimization and evaluation of the distribution of Fischer-Tropsch products over a cobalt-based catalyst utilising design expert software.

Modelling biomass to liquid via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) system allows researchers to investigate the most efficient parameters while running the system under optimal conditions. As part of the design of experiments (DOE) procedure, a special data simulation method based on response surface methodology (RSM) is utilized to thoroughly analyse the impact of operating circumstances. The objective of this study was to examine the factors that affect the production of C, C-C, and C in FTS process, and then optimize the critical factors utilising factorial design and response surface techniques.
