Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Overview of Reactor Development and Future Potentialities
Since its discovery in the 1920s, the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) has undergone periods of rapid development and periods of inaction. Within ten years of the discovery, German companies were building commercial plants. The construction of these plants stopped about 1940 but existing plants continued to operate during WWII. Two types of reactors were used in the German commercial plants: the...
متن کاملConceptual Design of an Autonomous Once-through Gas-to- Liquid Process with Microchannel Fischer-Tropsch Reactors
Converting remote natural gas to liquid fuel is one possible solution to the problem of transporting remote gas to the energy market. However, the high investment cost of gas-to-liquid (GTL) plants prevents large scale exploitation of remote gas reserves. A lean GTL is suggested based on an autothermal reformer with enriched air as oxidant and a once-through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. In order ...
متن کاملDetermination of the Product Selectivity Model from the Fischer Tropsch Synthesis in a Fixed Bed Reactor
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a catalytic process that can produce a fuel similar to fossil fuels by using primary sources such as agricultural waste and carbon sources that can convert into synthesis gas by superheated steam. All fuel derivatives can be supplied through the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. The synthesis produces a variety of hydrocarbons via parallel and sequential reactions. Howe...
متن کاملCFD modeling of slurry bubble column reactor for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
Industrial bubble column reactor for Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis includes complex hydrodynamic, chemical and thermal interaction of three material phases: population of bubbles of different sizes, liquid and catalyst particles suspended in liquid. To simulate FT bubble column, a Computational Fluid Dynamics model is described here. The model is based on Eulerian multifluid formulation and ac...
متن کاملImproved numerical simulation of the low temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a trickle bed reactor
Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
