e-Fuels, where one parameter sets the whole slate

Captured CO₂ and green hydrogen shifted to syngas at real chemical equilibrium, then grown into a hydrocarbon slate by Anderson-Schulz-Flory chain growth.

The actual dark-mode canvas: CO₂ and green hydrogen shifted to CO and water, the water knocked out, and the syngas grown into a synthetic hydrocarbon slate.

One parameter sets the whole product slate

The chain-growth probability α distributes reacted CO across every carbon number at once, so moving it shifts the entire slate between naphtha, jet and wax — with the tail lumped as wax and the atom balances closing exactly. The rWGS step ahead of it is a genuine equilibrium solve, not an assumed approach.

Live plant integration

Stream rWGS outlet composition, knockout temperature and FT reactor conditions from the plant's OPC-UA server into this flowsheet's twin comparison — a chain-growth probability drifting from the solved slate changes the product distribution before anyone samples it.
