EFFECTS OF COLUMN DIAMETER ON THE BUBBLE PROPERTIES IN A SIMULATED SLURRY BUBBLE COLUMN REACTOR FOR PRODUCTION OF LIQUID FUEL FROM SYNGAS (GTL)
Flow properties of gas phase reactant have been recognized as important factors in determining the reactor performance as well as conversion level in heterogeneous multiphase reactors such as a slurry bubble column reactor for production of liquid fuel from syngas(GTL). In the present study, thus, the flow properties of gas phase reactant such as size, rising velocity, frequency and holdup were investigated in a simulated three-phase slurry bubble column reactor. Effects of gas velocity, reactor pressure, liquid viscosity, solid content in the slurry phase and column diameter on the flow properties of gas reactant were determined. The multiple effects of operating variables on the bubble properties were well visualized by means of contour map and three-dimensional figure. It was noted that the effects of operating variables on the flow properties of gas were changed with changing column diameter of the reactor. The size, rising velocity, frequency and holdup of reactant gas bubbles were correlated in terms of operating variables including column diameter of the reactor.
