TWO STAGE REACTOR FOR CONTINUOS THREE PHASE SLURRY HYDROGENATION AND METHOD OF OPERATION.

摘要

A CONTINUOS STIRRED TANK REACTOR (12) IS PAIRED WITH A BUBBLE COLUMN REACTOR (14) TO ENHANCE CONVERSION IN A CONTINUOS PROCESS, E.G. HYDROGENATION, WHEREIN A GASEOUS REACTANT IS MIXED WITH A LIQUID (30). THE CONTINUOS STIRRED REACTOR IS FITTED WITH A SPECIALIZED IMPELLER SYSTEM TO CIRCULATE THE LIQUID (30) AND ENHANCE CONTACT OF THE LIQUID (30) WITH REACTANT GAS CARRIED OVER FROM THE BUBBLE COLUMN (14).
