Development of hydrodynamic and heat transfer profiles for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis in a fixed bed reactor of different scales

الملخص EN

Comprehensive hydrodynamic and heat transfer study of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on a home-based cobalt catalyst, with the presence of water–gas shift (WGS), is conducted with a fixed bed reactor.

Two different diameters have been used for the reactor, 4 and 7 inches.

To meet the requirements of industrial applications, simulation has been used to scale up the effect on the commercial scale reactor.

Synthetic gas was used as a feed stream and its conversion to H2 was considered.

Temperature and velocity profiles were obtained for the different scales.
