Effective heat removal in tubular fixed-bed reactors
Overview of innovation
The technology relates to an upright tubular fixed-bed reactor body comprising a heat -dissipating pipe, which extends from the reactor tube wall, to ensure that heat is effectively transferred in highly exothermic reactors such as Ficher-Tropsch, which are prone to heat build-up. The heat pipe is developed using metallic, elongated, hermetically sealed tube, which provides robust air control.
