Abstract
The invention is directed to reactor systems, apparatus, and processes which are useful for conducting chemical reactions that may be effected in a three phase slurry system. One particular application of the invention converts synthesis gas (syngas) into hydrocarbons. Syngas is comprised of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In general, a low profile bed reactor is capable of conducting an exothermic catalytic conversion. The reactor may also include a catalyst contained in a moving fluid system which ascends in the reactor in one or more stages. A heat exchanger optionally may be used to remove heat, and water may be removed from the reaction as it proceeds from one stage to another. The reactor is designed in a relatively low profile horizontal design, and is usually more efficient and inexpensive to operate (or build) than taller vertically oriented reactors of the same type.
