Is a monolithic loop reactor a viable option for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis?

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

“…Models for honeycomb monoliths are available for several gas-liquid reactions (Edvinsson and Cybulski, 1994;Nijhuis et al, 2003;Bauer et al, 2005). A modeling study comparing the MLR with simulation results obtained for a commercially sized SBC (Maretto and Krishna, 1999) has been presented by de Deugd et al (2003a). It was found that the MLR could be an interesting fixed-bed alternative to the SBC.…”

Progress in Reactors for High-Temperature Fischer–Tropsch Process: Determination Place of Intensifier Reactor Perspective

“…The fixed-bed and fluidized-bed as well as slurry-phase systems categorized as the common HTFT reactors which are appropriate for producing gas-phase products [15,38,39]. Besides these three reactor types for HTFT, the other configurations such as dual-type membrane reactors and coupling configuration reactors also have been investigated as product intensifier reactors [40][41][42]. This review first summarizes the evolution of coupling reactor types used for HTFT process and classification of different alternatives for HTFT process.…”

Modellierung von Gas/Flüssig/Fest‐Reaktionen in engen Kanälen für das Regime der Kolbenströmung

“…Die Mehrheit der Modelle ist eindimensional, setzt einen Katalysatorwirkungsgrad von 100 % voraus und vernachlässigt energetische Betrachtungen. Weiterhin wird bisher eine Abnahme der Gasblasenlänge aufgrund der stattfindenden chemischen Reaktion nur von De Deugd et al [12] (1)- (12)) erfolgte mit der Software Aspen Custom Modeler (Aspen Technology Inc., Version V2006.5). Im Vergleich zum Modell von Bauer et al [10] werden zusätzlich Porendiffusionseffekte innerhalb der Washcoatschicht (s. Gln.…”
