| 20110313063 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONDUCTING A FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS REACTION - A system for a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using a three-phase reactor in which a primary filter removes coarse catalyst particles from the product and in which catalyst fines are removed in a secondary filter. Some or all portion of the product wax from the secondary filter can be recycled back to the reactor, either as a back flush medium for the primary filter or directly to the slurry in the reactor, whereby removal of catalyst fines is rendered independent of the rate of wax production. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110313062 | SLURRY BUBBLE COLUMN REACTOR - A slurry bubble column reactor with a gas distribution arrangement comprising an upper sparger, a lower sparger, and an open-ended tube. Gas from the lower sparger enters the tube and lowers the density of slurry in the tube. The difference in slurry density causes the slurry in the tube to rise, causing slurry outside the tube to move down, maintaining circulation and flushing catalyst from the vessel wall. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20100184872 | PREPARATION OF FISCHER-TROPSCH CATALYSTS - A method of producing a catalyst for use in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. The method comprises the steps of: impregnating a catalyst support material with an active cobalt catalyst component to form a catalyst precursor; and calcining the catalyst precursor in an atmosphere of a dry calcining gas. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100137458 | GAS TO LIQUIDS PLANT WITH CONSECUTIVE FISCHER-TROPSCH REACTORS AND HYDROGEN MAKE-UP - A process for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons, using a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Two F-T reactors are used in series with water removal between them and additional hydrogen added to the second reactor in an embodiment. | 06-03-2010 |
