PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF AN AQUEOUS STREAM COMING FROM THE FISCHER TROPSCH REACTION

摘要

Process for the purification of an aqueous stream coming from the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, which comprises feeding a part of said aqueous stream to a saturator, feeding a part of said aqueous stream to a distillation and/or stripping column, feeding the aqueous stream leaving the head of said distillation and/or stripping column to said saturator. Said process allows at least a part of the aqueous stream coming from the Fischer-Tropsch reaction to be used as process water in the synthesis gas production plant, subsequently sent to the Fischer Tropsch plant for the production of hydrocarbons.
