A downcomer (61) for use in a slurry bubble column reactor (60) comprises: an upper part (62) including a slurry inlet (66) through which slurry can enter the downcomer (61), gas separation means (65) arranged to separate gas bubbles from the slurry, and a gas outlet through which the separated gas can escape; an elongate, tubular-shaped intermediate section (63) which extends vertically in use and through which slurry can pass downwards; and a lower portion (64) which has a slurry outlet (71). The slurry outlet (71) is defined by a wall (69) which is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the intermediate section (63). |
