FISCHER-TROPSCH PROCESS WITH A MULTISTAGE BUBBLE COLUMN REACTOR

摘要

Process for the optimum operation of a slurry bubble column reactor in the presence of a gas phase and a liquid phase, particularly for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, characterized in that: 1) the process is carried out in a number of stages in series of ~ 2; 2) the flow conditions of the gas phase and liquid phase containing the solids are essentially plug flow conditions, with a gas rate of between 3 cm/s and 200 cm/s and a liquid rate of between 0 and 10 cm/s; 3) the concentration of solids in each stage is essentially constant and equal for each single stage, and is between 5 and 50% (vol./vol.).
