Modeling of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis in slurry bubble column reactors

Local characteristics of hydrodynamics in draft tube airlift bioreactor

“…Finally, the turbulent eddy diffusivities in the fully developed flow region are calculated through a procedure proposed by Degaleesan (1997). The hardware and software developed for the CARPT technique and its data processing are described elsewhere (Degaleesan, 1997;Roy et al, 2002;Rados, 2003;Luo and Al-Dahhan, 2008).…”

Comparison of different reactor types for low temperature Fischer–Tropsch synthesis: A simulation study

“…Disadvantages of this reactor type are the need for catalyst separation from the liquid products and the highly demanding scale-up (Wang et al, 2007). The SBC reactor has been modeled for FTS using Fe catalyst by van der Laan et al (1999), Rados et al (2003) and Wang et al (2008) and using Co catalyst by Maretto and Krishna (1999) and Krishna and Sie (2000).…”

GTL using efficient cobalt Fischer-Tropsch catalysts

“…Online tracer studies can also be used to provide supplementary knowledge on axial dispersion in the reactors at different scales and as a function of reactor conditions. The reactor model includes liquid and gas phase mixing models, gas-liquid mass transfer [39,40] and gas-liquid equilibrium models [41][42][43].…”
