Reactor technology, novel developments

This paper describes the development of BP s Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalyst from the early days of laboratory scale preparations and micro-reactor tests to commercial scale manufacture and operation at BP s Gas to Liquids (GTL) demonstration facility in Nikiski, Alaska. A detailed description of the catalyst development activities, preparation methods, and experimental facilities is provided by Font Fieide and eoworkers [1]. The initial research was focused on eatalyst development for a fixed bed reactor design. Recent activities inelude the eommereial seale fixed bed tests in progress at Nikiski and development of a novel slurry-based reactor technology.
