Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for more efficiently performing Fischer Tropsch ("FT") processing of a syngas stream. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a device and method for FT processing with improved catalyst and temperature control for more efficient results.
- FT Fischer Tropsch
- FT Fischer Tropsch
- a catalyst is used in this reaction.
- This FT process usually occurs at high temperatures and high pressures, such as, for example, at pressures of 150-300 psig and temperatures ranging from 200 - 300 °C.
- the input stream that is input into the FT reaction vessel is often called synthesis gas or "syngas").
- FT technology provides a method for conversion of carbon and hydrogen containing streams from one form (e.g. standard natural gas, biomass, or a mixture of carbon and hydrogen containing materials in gas, liquid, or solid forms) to another form (e.g. kerosene & diesel fuel).
- one form e.g. standard natural gas, biomass, or a mixture of carbon and hydrogen containing materials in gas, liquid, or solid forms
- another form e.g. kerosene & diesel fuel.
- the initial mixture of carbon and hydrogen containing material is converted to syngas prior to the introduction into an FT reactor, although the conversion itself could occur over a catalyst in the FT reactor.
- the FT process will generally produce a mixture of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons (-CH 2 - molecules).
- the liquid hydrocarbons such as octane, hexane, and others hydrocarbons with carbon numbers greater than 5
- the gaseous products such as methane, ethane, etc.
- An extruded aluminum (or other high heat conductive metal) fin is placed within a tubular Fischer Tropsch (FT) reactor. It is important that the catalyst bed in an FT reactor be maintained at an even temperature to maximize the production of the liquid (i.e., higher value) output from the FT reactor. The conduction of heat away from the center of the reactor catalyst bed will assist in maintaining an even temperature and allow control of the temperature within the desired range.
- FT Fischer Tropsch
- a high heat conductive metal finned extrusion is included within the tubular fixed bed FT reactor. The extrusion would conduct heat from the reactor catalyst bed to the reactor walls and insure an improved temperature profile within the catalyst bed.
- the improved heat removal ability derived by including the fin within the catalyst bed also enables using much larger diameter reactors, thus reducing cost and increasing capacity.
- One embodiment of the finned extrusion involves a "snowflake" patterned extrusion within the tubular FT reactors embedded in a cooling block.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an insert that may be added to an FT reactor tube
- Figure 2 shows a perspective of the insert of Figure 1 being added to an FT reactor tube
- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the insert and FT reactor tube of Figure 2 used in conjunction with a cooling block;
- Figure 4 shows a mathematical representation of how the shape and configuration of the fins on the insert are selected
- Figure 5A is a photomicrograph of nano-particles of a catalyst in a micro- fibrous structure
- Figure 5B is a schematic representation of the micro-graph of Figure 5A;
- Figure 6 is a graph showing the temperature profile in a cylinder with constant heat generation
- Figure 7 is a graph of the diameter of the FT tube wall with respect to the desired number of barrels per day of FT product;
- Figure 8 is a graph of the FT reactor product as a function of the diameter of the FT tube;
- Fischer Tropsch (FT) processing is a method for the production of various hydrocarbons from the input of synthesis gas. It is a surface catalyzed carbon polymerization process that largely produces straight chain hydrocarbons that range from Ci to greater than C-ioo hydrocarbon products.
- the hydrocarbon products generally follow a distribution called the ASF (Anderson-Schultz-Flory) distribution defined by the chain growth probability factor ("a") that is a strong function of temperature. Maintaining the catalyst bed at an even temperature is important since higher bed temperatures tend to favor the formation of more of the gaseous (i.e. lower value) products while lower temperatures tend to favor production of waxes that are not easily transported by pipeline or directly usable as fuel.
- one of the purposes of this invention is to create a large tubular, fixed bed FT reactor and controlling the temperature of the catalyst bed within the reactor to prevent catalyst damage and improve yields in the liquid and wax range of FT products.
- the ASF chain growth probability factor (a) decreases by about 0.004/°C increase in catalyst temperature. This means that a 15°C variation in local temperature would mean a 0.06 shift in alpha which has a major impact on the product distribution. For example if the optimal alpha value for a desired liquid product was about 0.85, portions of the reactor 15°C cooler would have an alpha of 0.91 and make too much wax while portions of the reactor 15°C hotter would make less liquid and too much gas as product. Accordingly, it is desirable to find systems that will control the temperature along the entire length and in radial direction of the FT reactor, and thus, the alpha value, to provide consistent results.
- FIG. 1 shows one embodiment an insert 100 and Figure 2 shows the insert 100 added to an FT reactor tube 1 10. This insert 100 will now be described in conjunction with Figures 1 and 2. Taken together, the insert 100 and the FT reactor tube 1 10 form an FT unit 1 15.
- a bank (group) of FT reactor tubes 1 10 may be included in an FT unit 1 15.
- the insert 100 is designed such that a thermocouple opening 105 is positioned at the center of the insert 100.
- This opening 105 may be designed such that a thermocouple (not shown in Figure 1 ) may be used to measure the temperature proximate the insert 100.
- a multijunction thermocouple may be used to measure the temperature at various locations along the length of the insert 100.
- the opening 105 may also assist in the extrusion process that is used to make the insert 100.
- the insert 100 will generally be made of aluminum or another metal.
- the insert 100 may generally have a "snowflake" pattern/configuration.
- the insert 100 will have at least one cross-piece 1 18.
- This cross-piece 1 18 is a metal piece that extends across or partially across the diameter of the FT tube 1 10.
- the three cross-pieces 1 18 spaced so that they create a shape similar to that of a regular hexagon.
- other embodiments may be designed in which a different number of cross-pieces 1 18 are used.
- Each cross-piece 1 18 generally comprises a pad 120.
- the pad 120 is an extruded portion of the insert 100 that is designed to abut/engage the inner surface 126 of the FT reactor tube 1 10.
- the pad 120 may be perpendicular to the length of the cross-piece 1 18. Accordingly, when heat is produced during the FT reaction within the reactor tube 1 10, the heat may flow radially (outwardly) along the cross- pieces 1 18 until it reaches the pads 120. Once the heat is at the pads 120, the pads 120 will transfer the heat to the inner surface 126 of the FT reactor tube 1 10.
- the heat may be dissipated away from the tube 1 10 by passing to the outer surface of the tube 1 10 and then exiting the tube 1 10 into the surrounding matrix/media.
- the heat created by the FT reaction within the FT reactor tube 1 10 may be dealt with (taken away by, for example, a cooling fluid, a cooling block, etc.), thereby maintaining the FT reactor tube 1 10 at a constant or nearly constant temperature (and thereby allowing the FT reactor tube 1 10 to produce more consistent results from the FT reaction).
- each cross-piece 1 18 contacts the inner surface 126 via the pad 120.
- the cross-piece may directly contact the inner surface 126 (e.g., contact the inner surface 126 in some other way than through a pad 120).
- the insert 100 may further comprise at least one cross-fin 127.
- the cross-fin 127 is an extension that extends from the cross-piece 1 18 at or near the center point between each pad 120 and the opening 105.
- each cross-fin 127 is paired with a corresponding second cross-fin 129.
- Each second cross-fin 129 may be similar and/or identical to the cross-fins 127, except that the cross-fins 127 extend away from the cross-pieces 1 18 in a first direction while the second cross-fins 129 extend away from the cross-pieces 1 18 in a second direction, the second direction being different than the first direction.
- each cross-piece 1 18 includes one first cross-fin 127 and one second cross-fins 129. It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that there may be multiple cross-fins along a single cross-piece 1 18. Additionally, the cross- fins may be different lengths. For example, as the cross-piece 1 18 extends radially outward, the cross-fins may become longer. This will allow the cross-fins to penetrate more into the catalysis volume as the cross-piece gets nearer the pad 120.
- both the cross-fins 127 and the second cross-fins 129 are disposed towards the inner surface 126.
- other embodiments may have the cross-fins 127, 129 be perpendicular to the cross-pieces 1 18.
- Still further embodiments may be designed in which the cross-fins 127, 127 are disposed away from the inner surface 126 such that the cross-fins 127, 129 extend radially inwardly (toward the opening 105), thereby ensuring the that base 131 of the cross-fins 127, 129 are closer to the inner surface 126 than in the edge 131 .
- the purpose of the cross-fins 127, 129 is to help to dissipate the heat that is formed during the FT reaction. Specifically, if the heat is formed in the interior of the FT reactor tube 1 10 such as, for example, between the pad 120 and the opening 105, then this heat can come into contact with one or more of the cross-fins 127, 129.
- the cross-fins 127, 129 can help to transfer the heat to the cross-pieces 1 18, which will then transfer the heat to the pads 120, the inner surface 126 and outside of the FT reactor tube 1 10.
- the FT unit 1 15 of Figures 1 -2 is shown used in conjunction with a cooling block 150.
- the FT reactor tubes 1 10 may be placed in a cooling block 150 so that some of the heat generated from the FT reaction may be absorbed by the cooling block 150 (e.g., as a way to dissipate/absorb heat).
- the cooling block 150 may also house cooling tubes (not shown) that channel cooling fluid (such as water or oil) proximate the FT reactor tubes 1 10 such that the cooling tubes will further absorb/dissipate the generated heat.
- the FT unit 1 15 is shown used in conjunction with a cooling block as described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.
- the FT reactor unit 1 15/insert 100 may also be used in conjunction with the cooling apparatus disclosed in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/601 ,134 (whose content is also incorporated herein by reference).
- other types of cooling blocks/cooling mechanisms may be used in conjunction with the insert/FT reactor unit 1 15.
- the present insert 100 inside a tube may be placed within a cooling block of the type described in the above-recited provisional patent application or may be used within the primary/secondary temperature bed control system found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/601 ,134.
- the catalyst within the FT tube may be of the type shown in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/601 ,103 filed February 21 , 2012.
- cross- fins 127, 129 and the cross-pieces 1 18 may depend upon a mathematical relationship. Specifically, the number of cross-fins 127, 129, the length of the cross- fins, the position of the cross-fins, and the thickness of cross-fins at both the base and the tip are so that a ratio X equals 1 .7, wherein the X ratio is:
- the ratio X of 1 .7 is given as an example of the largest ratio of hot to cold zone temperature (as adjusted to reaction rate). In other embodiments, the value of this ratio might be as low as 1 .2 or as great as 4.
- This ratio 1 .7/1 .0 (in which the function f(T) is constructed to equal 1 at 230°C) is in effect a constraint on maximum temperature.
- the objective function in the optimization is to maximize the integral of f(T) over the reactor volume (or cross sectional area in 2D) with the constraint on the maximum value of f(T) anywhere in the volume.
- saying that the maximum value of f(T) is 1 .7 works out to saying we want everything in the 230-238.4°C range with the area or volume average being as high as possible without violating the constraint. Adding more fin metal helps keep from violating the constraint, but it also reduces the volume available for catalyst which is part of the equation.
- the starting point is to consider an the inside diameter (of the FT reactor pipe) to be 4 inches and then, the model puts as little fin volume as possible that will still satisfy the constraint. (Of course, this modeling may be done with a computer and/or computer-implemented software.) Strictly speaking it is not minimizing the amount of fin volume as more fin volume in strategic areas can help maximize the objective function.
- cross-fins 127, 129 that are shown in Figures 1 -4 are all "straight" in that they extend linearly from the cross-pieces. This depiction is not limiting. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the cross-fins 127, 129 may be “curved,” “parabolic” in shape, “bent,” or otherwise configured. Likewise, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the cross-pieces 1 18 may also be “curved,” bent, etc.
- the catalyst that is used within the FT tube 1 10 may be a metallic, microfibrous entrapped catalyst ("MFEC") for the FT catalyst.
- MFEC microfibrous entrapped catalyst
- the MFEC reactor charge has a much higher thermal conductivity that enables the transfer of heat from the interior of the catalyst bed to the reactor wall. Laboratory measurements have indicated that the MFEC transfers approximately 50 times as much heat as a traditional packed bed catalyst approach.
- the MFEC has the additional benefit of promoting interaction between the FT catalyst and the input synthesis gas feedstock. The high heat transfer controls the radial heat distribution in the reactor.
- the FT reactor tube is designed such that reactant carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas may be converted into water and a hydrocarbon.
- a catalyst may be involved.
- the present embodiment of FT reactor tube may use any type of catalyst/catalyst structure.
- one particular type of catalyst that has been found to be effective is an FT catalyst that has been dispersed within the tubular structures of the compact tube using technology that provides a micro-fibrous substrate for dispersal of nano-sized FT catalyst.
- a photomicrograph of a typical micro-fibrous structure is shown in Figure 5A. The use of this type of substrate could assist in solving many of the traditional problems with a fixed bed FT unit.
- micro-fibrous structure breaks up flow and thus promotes a more even distribution of the synthesis gas through the FT synthesis tube. Further, a micro-fibrous structure is believed to provide increased activity by the better utilization of the supported structure. Proper selection of the micro-fibrous structure could also promote heat transfer (i.e., use of a metallic material for the removal of heat from the highly exothermic FT process and conveying it to the walls of the unit). Those skilled in the art will appreciate what materials may be used as the micro-fibrous material. Since excess heat promotes growth of undesirable light gaseous hydrocarbons, removal of heat has limited the use of fixed bed FT units.
- FIG. 5B is a schematic representation of the photomicrograph of Figure 5A.
- the MFEC 200 comprises the metallic catalyst 205 (which is a nano-particle) that is nano-dispersed within a micro-fibrous material 210.
- the nano-particle catalyst 205 are shown as circles, although those skilled in the art will appreciate that this representation is made for clarity and that other particle shapes may be used.
- the MFEC 200 e.g., the nano-dispersed micro-fibrous material 210 and the nano-particle catalyst 205 are packed within the FT reactor tube (not shown in Figures 5A and 5B) and the syngas is allowed to pass through the tube, thereby causing an FT reaction to occur.
- Figure 5B shows that syngas 220 is added to the reactor tube and, while in the tube, an FT reaction occurs such that a hydrocarbon material 230 is produced.
- supported or unsupported packed bed catalysts may be used. These may include alumina extrudates or silica pellets, self-supported iron and the like embodiments. In other embodiments, micro-fiber catalysts may be used.
- the graphs shown in Figures 6-8 show the advantage of an enhanced internal thermal management catalyst structures ("EITMCS"), which in certain embodiments can be the insert 100 (see Figure 1 ) and the MFEC 200 (see 5b), either alone or in combination. Specifically, these graphs show the advantages of the present embodiments in terms of temperature control, and the potential reactor size and productivity vs. reactor diameter. The graphs are based on reactor data and projected state of the art high activity catalyst.
- EITMCS enhanced internal thermal management catalyst structures
- the reactors having an enhanced internal thermal management structure can have an effective bed conductivity 50 times that of a conventional extrudate packed bed, allowing 7 times the reactor diameter for the same temperature difference.
- embodiments of the present invention incorporating an internal heat transfer fin or insert within the FT tube could also include the cooling block 150 (see Figure 3) and the MFEC 200 (see Figure 5b). This type of heat transfer fin/insert is described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/600,501 , filed February 17, 2012 (which patent application is expressly incorporated herein by reference), may also be used to increase the effective bed thermal conductivity.
- the insert of the above-recited provisional patent application may be placed within the FT tube as a way of further dissipating heat from the interior of the tube.
- U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/601 ,134 (which patent application is expressly incorporated herein by reference) provides for a primary and secondary cooling mechanism (coolant flow) as an additional means to dissipate heat.
- the tubes of the present embodiments may be used in conjunction with the primary/secondary coolant flow mechanism of the above-recited provisional application.
- the embodiments of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/601 ,134 may also be used with the cooling MFEC catalyst structure or the other embodiments described herein.
- the reactor tube must be capable of carrying off heat once heat has been conducted to the reactor tube wall.
- the graph of Figure 7 shows the tube wall heat flux values vs. reactor size and the coolant ⁇ assuming a typical value for a forced convection heat transfer coefficient he.
- the present embodiments provide an improved means of supporting high reactor wall heat transfer while maintaining a very uniform temperature along the length of the reactor.
- the reactor tube addresses heat removal at the wall, by a novel design with integrated primary and secondary bed temperature control.
- the graph of Figure 8 shows the benefits associated with having a larger diameter reactor tube, in order to produce a desired number of bbl (barrels FT product) per day.
- conventional FT reactors are limited to about 1 " diameter for a less active catalyst to 5/8" or smaller diameter for a very active catalyst.
- the MFEC with the present embodiments, along with the heat transfer inserts as described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/600,501 and that primary and secondary bed temperature control designs as described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/601 ,134 allow the use of reactor tubes of up to 4" with the most active known catalyst or up to 10" with less active catalysts. This reduces the cost and complexity required for a given production rate.
