SOLID/LIQUID SLURRY TREATMENT APPARATUS AND CATALYTIC MULTI-PHASE REACTOR

摘要

SOLID LIQUID SLURRY REACTION APPARATUS (11) FOR A FISHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS. THE SLURRY COMPRISES A REACTION VESSEL (12) DEFINING A REACTION ZONE FOR THE SLURRY PAHSE WITH A VOLUME OF GAS (16) ABOVE, A FRIT PLATE (18) FOR INTRODUCING GASEOUS REACTANTS INTO THE SLURRY, AND A FILTRATION SECTION (13) ARRANGED TO SEPARATE ATHE LIQUID PRODUCT FROM THE SLURRY. THE FILTRATION SECTION (13) INCLUDES A HOUSING (25) A FILTER ELEMENT (26) AN OUTLET (32) FOR THE PRODUCT FILTRATE. A TUBE (38) ESTABLISHES FLUID COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE GAS SPACE (29) ABOVE THE FILTRATE AND GAS SPACE (16) ABOVE THE SLURRY.
