FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS SYSTEM USING BUBBLE COLUMN TYPE SLURRY-BED REACTOR

摘要

A Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis system, characterized in that the FT synthesis process of bringing synthesis gas continuously fed from the bottom of a bubble column type slurry-bed reactor into contact with suspended catalyst particles in the reactor to form liquid hydrocarbons, gaseous hydrocarbons, and water, the process of separating the catalyst particles from the liquid product in a separator, the process of transferring the gaseous product to the separator and withdrawing it from the top of the separator, the process of withdrawing the liquid product from the intermediate section of the separator, and the process of withdrawing a concentrated slurry of catalyst particles from the bottom of the separator and circulating it to the bottom of the reactor are conducted by the driving force of synthesis gas which is introduced to the bottom of the reactor and ascends in the reactor.
