HORIZONTAL REACTOR FOR SYNTHESIS OF HYDROCARBONS ACCORDING TO FISHER-TROPSH METHOD Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: chemical industry; equipment for synthesis of hydrocarbons.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to chemical industry, in particular, to the horizontal reactor for synthesis of hydrocarbons according to Fisher-Tropsh method. The offered reactor consists of the single-type design coaxial horizontal reactive sections. Each section is mounted on a wheeled trolley with adjustable supports and incorporates a casing, a fixed in it through adapters catalytic box with a built-in heat exchanger, through which the heat transfer medium is compulsorily pumped over. The catalytic box is made in the form of a package assembly of the same type catalytic modules is sectional with usage of the fastening strainers and tightening gaskets. The catalytic module is assembled with usage of welding from longitudinal or transversal in respect to the longitudinal axis sections, the square-type flat soldered on corrugations or ribs double walled panels with the general depth of 5-15 mm, at the thickness of walls of 1 - 2 mm, at the height of corrugations or ribs of 3-9 mm at their depth of 0.3-2.0 mm with the shanks welded to them. The catalytic area is formed due to selection of the depth of the shanks greater, than the depth of the panels, owing to what at their assembly in compliance with shanks by means of welding between the panels are left the vertical slits of 5...20 mm width where fragments-granules of the catalytic agent are placed. The given engineering solution ensures conditions close to isothermal requirements of the synthesis through the whole volume of the reaction zone, ease of assembly and maintenance of the reactor in all climatic zones, and also in provision of its reliability, transportability and repairability.

EFFECT: the invention ensures conditions close to isothermal requirements of the synthesis through the whole volume of the reaction zone, ease of assembly and maintenance of the reactor in all climatic zones, its reliability, transportability and repairability.
