ABSTRACT:
The invention is a process for producing hydrocarbons from hydrogen and carbon monoxide by reacting hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of a particulate solid catalyst and a substantially inert liquid medium. This reaction takes place in a reactor vessel adapted for the reaction of gases in the presence of a substantially inert liquid medium and a bed of solid particulate catalyst. The hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas are introduced at a plurality of locations within the reactor vessel. Bubbles of gas flow upward through the bed of solid catalyst particles and substantially inert liquid medium at sufficient velocity to expand the bed to a volume greater than its static volume. This velocity creates a turbulent reaction zone wherein liquid, gas, and solid catalyst are present and are in a state of motion.
