Abstract
Slurry phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is an important and promising route to produce clean fuels and valuable long chain hydrocarbons from synthesis gas. An important phenomenon in these kinds of reactors is the vapour-liquid equilibrium. Due to the complexity both in the reaction and hydrodynamics of these reactors, most of the reported work are on hydrodynamics and then on reaction and less attention has been paid to the vapour-liquid equilibria. This work shows an effort to present a reliable method for phase equilibria in slurry reactor for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. Different equation of states, and the empirical Henry's correlation have been applied to a set of experimental data in non-reactive environment and it was tried to get a good fit, by introducing some adjustable parameters. It was shown that a modified SRK equation of state is the most appropriate for prediction the phase equilibria in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor.
