Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention pertains to a process for carrying out a high-speed stop in a Fischer-Tropsch process which comprises providing a feed to a fixed bed reactor comprising a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, the reactor being at reaction temperature and pressure, and withdrawing an effluent from the reactor, wherein the high-speed stop is effected by blocking provision of feed to the reactor and simultaneously blocking the withdrawal of effluent from the reactor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for carrying out a high-speed stop in a Fischer-Tropsch process in a reactor, comprising the step of simultaneously blocking provision of feed to and withdrawal of effluent from the reactor, wherein the Fischer-Tropsch process comprises providing a feed to a multi-tubular, fixed bed reactor having tubes with a diameter between 1-15 cm and a length in the range of 3-30 meters, the tubes being at least partially surrounded by a heat transfer medium, t…
