<p>An apparatus and method is disclosed for producing hydrocarbons according to the Fischer-Tropsch process. The apparatus comprises a catalytic distillation reactor (10) where reactants are fed into the catalytic distillation reactor (10) to undergo catalytic reaction to form hydrocarbons. The catalytic distillation reactor (10) is divided into reaction chambers (51-55) and monoliths (61-65) are disposed with said reaction chambers (51-55). A honeycomb monolith (288) preferably includes channels (290)having an axis disposed at a nonzero angle with respect to the axis of a reaction chamber (51-55) containing the honeycomb monolith (228). External heat exchangers (15) are provided.</p> |
