Zusammenfassung:A method of operating a slurry phase apparatus (10) includes feeding one or more gaseous reactants into a slurry body (37) of solid particulate material suspended in a suspension liquid contained inside a vessel (12). The one or more gaseous reactants are fed into the slurry body (37) through a gas distributor (14) having downward facing gas outlets (32) and are fed towards a fluid impermeable partition (18) spanning across the vessel (12) below the gas distributor (14). The partition (18) divides the vessel (12) into a slurry volume (19) above the partition (18) and a bottom volume (36) below the partition (18). A differential pressure is maintained over the partition (18) between predefined limits by manipulating or allowing changes in the pressure in the bottom volume (36) by employing a pressure transfer passage (34) establishing flow or pressure communication between the bottom volume (36) and a head space (40) above the slurry body (37).
