Dynamic CFD Simulations and Scale-Up of Three-Phase Slurry Reactors for Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) Technology

本文采用实验和计算流体力学的方法对三相浆态鼓泡床反应器内气液固三相流态进行了研究。将研究各种反应器参数的影响，以开发浆态鼓泡塔反应器的放大启发式。本研究的结果将用于优化澳大利亚海上天然气位置的反应器系统。该项目的成功实施将为澳大利亚带来巨大的经济效益，因为它利用了大量位于偏远地区的、否则无法使用的搁浅天然气储量。该项目福尔斯国家研究重点之一：一个环境可持续的澳大利亚。

The gas-liquid-solid flow patterns in three-phase slurry bubble column reactors will be studied using experiments and CFD. The effect of various reactor parameters will be studied to develop the scale-up heuristic for the slurry bubble column reactor. The Findings of this study will be used to optimise the reactor system for the offshore natural gas locations of Australia. A successful implementation of this project will bring a huge economic benefit to Australia by utilising the vast amount of remotely located and otherwise unusable stranded natural gas reserves. The project falls within one of National Research Priorities: An Environmentally Sustainable Australia.
