摘要:
The present invention is a novel process for methanol production in a liquid phase reactor from a synthesis gas comprising of hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The liquid phase reactor contains a solid catalyst suspended in methanol. In this innovation, methanol acts both as a product and as a suspension medium for the catalyst. The new innovation exploits the condensing conditions for methanol production. By operating at condensing conditions, the methanol partial pressure at equilibrium is higher than the boiling pressure of methanol at the given temperature. Hence the produced methanol of the equilibrium composition condenses creating the potential of more gas to be converted. Since equilibrium is not a limiting factor, high conversions can be obtained.

摘要:
Method and reactor for performing Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis with controlled steam partial pressure by introducing cool points in the FT reactor, typically in form of cooled solid surfaces. At the surface, the low temperature will force condensation of the water into a liquid film. Thereby, the partial pressure of steam in the gas and reactor will not exceed significantly the vapor partial pressure at the liquid film and water from the gas stream will be removed as it is produced, i.e. steam induced deactivation is avoided. In addition, the decrease of hydrogen and carbon monoxide partial pressures due to dilution by steam will be kept low ensuring a constant high reaction rate.
