Spent catalyst () is removed from process microchannels () of a Fischer-Tropsch reactor by directing a jet of air () from an air knife () through slots of a protecting member (). The air knife is traversed across successive rows of process microchannels () in direction A. The spacer member () protects an internal microchannel architecture () of the process microchannels against damage by the air jet () which may approach or exceed sonic velocity as it is directed into the process microchannels.

Process and apparatus for removing solid catalyst

The present technology is directed to processes for conversion of synthesis gas in a tubular reactor to produce a synthetic product that utilizes high activity carbon monoxide hydrogenation catalysts and a heat transfer structure that surprisingly provides for higher per pass conversion with high selectivity for the desired synthetic product without thermal runaway.

Process for operating a highly productive tubular reactor

An active temperature differential compensation for strain gage based sensors. An array of temperature sensors can be placed at the gage locations to measure the difference in temperature that induces strain on the strain gages. The output of the temperature sensor network can be placed in series with the strain gage network to directly compensate the induced voltage caused by the temperature gradient and/or employed as the input of a mathematical algorithm that can compensate the output from the strain gage bridge to dynamically correct unwanted thermally induced strain in the strain gages.
