[Stoves] fLARED NATURAL GAS.

[Crispin at newdawn.sz]

Dear John

I was wondering what they were up to!  What I would like to add is that the 
process that produces diesel also produces a large amount of paraffin by 
accident (the C9-C15 part of it).

Paraffin is also a safe, high energy fuel, the only problem has been the 
stoves.

John, can you confirm that the local paraffin is C9-C20 and that local 
diesel is C16-C22?

I am encouraging the new bio-fuels association to promote bio-paraffin. 
Apparently then never though about it but the local market is 620,000,000 
litres a year.  Surely by now the price of bio-fuels is getting close to the 
'other kind'?

Regards
Crispin in Rosebank

Greetings Stovers,

I write to fill in an apparently little known fact. Sasol is building a
plant in Nigeria to utilize the flared gas, or a good part of it. This
project would have already been in production, but has been delayed several
times buy political instability in the oil producing regions.  An identical
plant is at the commissioning stage in Qutar......
