APPARATUS FOR HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSED REACTIONS

摘要

Apparatus for heterogeneous catalysed reactions for converting a gas to a liquid or liquids comprising a reactor shell suitable for containing a slurry of a particulate catalyst in a liquid and having a gas outlet; a heat exchange system comprising one or more heat exchangers located within the reactor shell; means for removing at least a portion of the slurry from a reaction zone of the reactor shell and means for reintroducing the slurry into the reaction zone after it has been mixed with gas; a multi-phase mixing device for mixing slurry and gas; mean to distribute the slurry reintroduced into the reaction zone equally across a cross-section of the reaction zone; and means to prevent variation in concentration of gas in a cross-section of the reaction zone.
