$XFLS Technology Developments: Cycle continues to develop its mobile GTL (Gas to Liquid) system and is presently in negotiations to deploy the first pilot plan here in Alberta. The pilot system will produce approximately 5 metric tons (approximately 1320 gallons) of C5+ hydrocarbons plus Fischer Tropsch wax. FT synthetic waxes are made using carbon monoxide and hydrogen as feedstock, producing hydrocarbons of consistently high purity and quality creating a very high value product on the average of $US2000/m3. The structure of the wax results in many desirable properties and is often used in hot melt adhesives, printing inks and coatings, polymer processing and polishes and textiles. The system will be used as a pilot to determine follow-on larger systems in both the US and Canada.
