“…First the features and performances of earlier reactors are investigated, and their weaknesses for HTFT synthesis are discussed. Then the same study is done for product intensifier reactors which are recent innovative configurations [29][30][31][32][33]. Ultimately, results show that product intensifier reactor can be feasible and beneficial for achieving the renewable energy.…”

High-temperature Fischer-Tropsch (HTFT) process aims to produce lighter cuts such as gasoline and diesel. For many years there have been studies and improvements on HTFT process to make the existing reactors more efficient. Recent studies proposed new configurations such as dual-type membrane reactor and coupling configurations reactor, which improved the performances of this process. This achievement persuades us to update the existing knowledge about the available reactors for HTFT process. In this article, features and performances overview of two classes of reactors are reviewed. The first class consists of the reactors which are based on older studies, and the second one includes recent studies which are called product intensifier reactors. Finally, it is shown that the product intensifier reactors have higher CO conversions and lower selectivity of undesired by-products which results in higher production yield of gasoline. Furthermore, the place of product intensifier reactor among common reactors with regard to the influence of the process parameters on the product distribution has been estimated.

“…In Rahimpour and Mirvakili (2013), a decalin and hydrogen looping approach named thermally coupled membrane ternary reactor (TCMTR) for application in GTL technology is proposed. In order to minimize the H 2 mole fraction in the outlet of the third reactor and to maximize the gasoline yield and hydrogen mole fraction in the endothermic side, the operating conditions of the TCMTR are optimized using a DE approach.…”

AbstractDifferential evolution (DE), belonging to the evolutionary algorithm class, is a simple and powerful optimizer with great potential for solving different types of synthetic and real-life problems. Optimization is an important aspect in the chemical engineering area, especially when striving to obtain the best results with a minimum of consumed resources and a minimum of additional by-products. From the optimization point of view, DE seems to be an attractive approach for many researchers who are trying to improve existing systems or to design new ones. In this context, here, a review of the most important approaches applying different versions of DE (simple, modified, or hybridized) for solving specific chemical engineering problems is realized. Based on the idea that optimization can be performed at different levels, two distinct cases were considered – process and model optimization. In both cases, there are a multitude of problems solved, from different points of view and with various parameters, this large area of successful applications indicating the flexibility and performance of DE.
