Zusammenfassung: | A REACTOR FOR CONDUCTING A MULTI-PHASE CATALYTIC REACTION SUCH AS CONVERSION OF SYNGAS TO HIGHER HYDROCARBON FUELS. GASEOUS REACTANTS ARE INTRODUCED VIA A GAS-PERMEABLE PLATE 15 INTO A SLURRY 16 WHICH INCLUDES THE PRODUCT AND A FINELY DIVIDED CATALYST. THE LIQUID PRODUCT IS SEPARATED FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE SLURRY BY MEANS OF A FILTER UNIT 13 INCLUDING A FILTER MEMBER 22. A PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL IS ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE FILTER MEMBER 22 BY MEANS OF A CONSTANT LEVEL DEVICE 23 WITHIN THE FILTER UNIT WHICH MAINTAINS A LEVEL OF FILTRATE 32 WITHIN THE FILTER UNIT 22 BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE SLURRY 16. THE SLURRY 16 IS MAINTAINED IN A CONSTANT STATE OF AGITATION BY THE INTRODUCTION OF THE GASEOUS COMPONENTS AS A STEAM OF BUBBLES. FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ACROSS THE FILTER MEMBER 22 PREVENT THE FILTER MEMBER FROM CLOGGING AND THE GAS SPACES 28, 29 ABOVE THE FILTRATE 32 AND THE SLURRY 16 ARE IN COMMUNICATION.( FIGURE 1 ). |
