Fischer-Tropsch Slurry Process for Small- and Medium-Scale Plants Processing Associated Petroleum Gas

摘要

The Fischer-Tropsch three-phase synthesis (slurry process) as one of the simplest and most technologically flexible options for processing of associated petroleum gas into motor fuels and products of the basic organic synthesis is described. The process has the following advantages: a high yield of the desired products due to complete conversion of syngas; flexibility of the source syngas composition; simplicity of the equipment manufacturing; operational reliability of the equipment and non-rigid operational conditions; a stable temperature regime in the reactor; the absence of abrasive deterioration; a possibility of continuous replacement and repeated regeneration of the catalyst; and reliable heat removal together with a small area of the cooling surface.
