FT synthesis reactors

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis reactors are industrial devices that convert a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, known as syngas, into liquid hydrocarbons like gasoline and diesel. The process occurs on catalyst surfaces under high temperature and pressure, where gases react to form longer-chain molecules. These reactors can be built as fixed beds, moving beds, or slurry phase reactors, each designed for efficiency and product quality. FT reactors are crucial for producing synthetic fuels from coal, natural gas, or biomass, offering a way to generate transportation fuels in a controlled, industrial setting.
