    摘要: The invention relates to a catalyst body comprising a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst or catalyst precursor and a porous body, said porous body being between 1-50 mm, preferably 1-30 mm in size, the catalyst body having an internal voidage between 50-95%. The invention further relates to a process comprising the steps of: (i) introducing the synthesis gas into the reactor; and (ii) contacting the synthesis gas with a non-stationary catalyst to catalytically convert the synthesis gas at an elevated temperature to obtain the normally gaseous, normally liquid, and optionally normally solid hydrocarbons from synthesis gas; wherein the catalyst of step (ii) is located on a plurality of porous bodies being 1-50 mm in size, preferably 1-30 mm in size, thus forming catalyst bodies, and wherein said catalyst bodies have an external voidage in situ in the reactor between 5-60%, and a porosity within the catalyst bodies between 50-95%. Use of catalyst bodies according to the invention provides an advantageous intermediate balance whereby such catalyst bodies are significantly easier (and therefore less costly) to separate from the products of the slurry reactor, but they are still able to be supported by the slurry, and are therefore still movable within the reactor vessel so as to seek the most even catalytic transfer and heat transfer, but without being fixed.

    摘要: A sparger system (10) for a reactor (21) includes a feed pipe arrangement for feeding reactants to the spargers on the floor of the reactor, via a distribution system disposed above the spargers. The outlets (12) of the spargers are typically oriented towards the floor or parallel to it in order to eject gas or other reactants across the floor. This reduces settling of catalyst on the floor of the reactor, which improves mixing of the slurry and reduces the problems associated with uncontrolled reactions.

    摘要: A reactor tube apparatus for a gas and liquid reactor, particularly for use in a Fischer-Tropsch process is disclosed. The apparatus comprises modified reactor tubes for use with a gas cap. Preferred embodiments of the reactor tubes have a slit or aperture which allows a limited amount of liquid to enter the reactor tube before the liquid level reaches the rim of the reactor tube. Thus liquid enters the reactor tubes more gradually which reduces surges of liquid and provides a more consistent dissipation of heat within the reactor tubes.

    摘要: A reactor for carrying out a chemical reaction in a three phase slurry system, the reactor comprising: (a) a reaction vessel having a freeboard zone and a slurry zone, the slurry zone having a diameter of at least 0.5 m, preferably greater than 1 m, more preferably greater than 2 m, and a height of at least 15 m preferably at least 10 m; (b) a gas inlet means at or near the bottom of the reaction vessel; (c) a gas outlet at or near the top of the reaction vessel; (d) a plurality of vertical pipes within the reaction vessel slurry zone, therefore pipes having a diameter of from about 1 cm to about 200 cm, and a total perimeter of from about 1400 to about 4000 cm/ra2; and optionally (e) a liquid outlet means. The provision of sufficient vertical pipes in a reaction vessel of this size has been found not only to suppress the tendency of preferred gas flow streams through the liquid and the formation of rolling motions at the slurry, but also to reduce and possibly prevent large scale backmixing of the gas phase, and especially the liquid phase, in the reaction vessel.
