The present invention describes a device allowing secondary filtration of catalyst particles contained in an effluent from a process comprising a reactor operated in three-phase mode.

Secondary filtration device applicable to a three-phase process

The invention concerns a device for producing liquid hydrocarbons by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on solid catalyst particles in a three-phase bed reactor, said device being equipped with at least one filter cartridge mounted in a filtering zone inside said reactor, said filter cartridge comprising: a filter for separating the filtrate of the solid catalyst particles, a cylindrical casing, and inner element having the shape of a hollow cylinder open at its ends and mounted substantially coaxial relative to the longitudinal axis of the casing, an annular chamber delimited by the casing and the walls of the inner element, said chamber being designed to collect the filtrate, and a discharge conduit for said filtrate, wherein the walls of the inner element of the filter cartridge are at least partly formed by the filter of the cartridge.

Device for producing liquid hydrocarbons by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a three-phase bed reactor

Device that is integrated in a chamber that allows a separation of a mixture that comprises at least one gaseous fraction and one liquid fraction, whereby said mixture is obtained from a zone for bringing into contact a liquid phase, a gaseous phase and solid particles.

Internal device for separating a mixture that comprises at least one gaseous phase and one liquid phase

Homogeneous bed of catalyst and a process for transforming hydrocarbons into aromatic compounds using said bed
