3 Introduction & Motivation The conversion of natural and bio gas, coal, and biomass to liquid fuels and chemicals vis synthesis gas is currently of interests to the energy and chemical industries which represents a valuable addition to diversifying in fuels and products resources. X Coal Biomass Natural Gas Gasification G Syngas Processing Fischer- Tropsch Synthesis Syncrude Refining & Upgrading L Fuel & Chemicals The key route for the conversion synthesis gas to liquid fuels and chemicals (GTL) technology is the Fisher-Tropsch (FT) synthesis where the reaction of syngas (H 2 and CO) over catalyst into liquid hydrocarbons takes place. FT synthesis is highly exothermic and hence intense heat exchanging tubes (internals) are needed to control the temperature. H 2 +CO (syngas) F-T waxes (C -C 00+ ) H 2 O Water steam 4/26/207 3
4 Bubble/Slurry bubble column reactor with vertical dense heat exchanging tubes is one of the reactors of choice to conduct the highly exothermic FT reaction. The presence of the dense heat exchange tubes (internals) impacts the hydrodynamics and mixing behavior of the reactor in a very complex way and hence, it will affect the performance, selectivity and the yield. The understanding of such complexity has been completely lacking due to lack of implementing advanced measurement techniques. Gas holdup distribution is the one of the important hydrodynamic parameters governing the dynamic of the bubble/slurry bubble columns where gas holdup drives the liquid circulation, and hence the rate of mixing, mass, and heat transfer. There is a lack of detailed investigation to understand the effect of the intense internals on the gas holdup distribution. Therefore, the focus of this work is to investigate, visualize, and quantify for the first time the influence of the size, and configurations of the intense heat exchanging tubes (internals) at wide range of the superficial gas velocity on the time-averaged cross-sectional gas holdup distribution and their radial/diametrical profiles by implementing non-invasive gamma-ray computed tomography (CT) technique. 4/26/207 Slurry bubble columns with vertical internals Industrial heat exchanging tubes (internals) 4

9 Results and Discussion Linear attenuation coefficient distribution (μ, cm - )for a bubble column with and without internals Linear attenuation coefficient distribution for a bubble column without internals: (a) empty column, (b) column filled with water, and (c) column with air-water at superficial gas velocity 45 cm/s Linear attenuation coefficient distribution for a bubble column equipped with 0.5-inch internals: (a) empty column, (b) column filled with water, and (c) column with air-water at superficial gas velocity 45 cm/s The reconstructed linear attenuation images clearly show that the CT technique was able to capture and reproduce the arrangement and location of each of the internals as well as of the column wall. These images confirm the quality of this CT technique and also the image reconstruction algorithm (AM). Hence, the CT is capable of capturing a small maldistribution in the multiphase reactor if it exists and it provides reliable cross-sectional gas holdup distribution to validate CFD simulations and hydrodynamics models. 4/26/207 Linear attenuation coefficient distribution for a bubble column equipped with.0-inch internals: (a) empty column, (b) column filled with water, and (c) column with air-water at superficial gas velocity 45 cm/s 9

13 Remarks For the first time, cross-sectional gas holdup distributions and their diametrical profiles were visualized and quantified at different internal sizes, configurations, and superficial gas velocities to study and assess these parameters. The reconstructed CT images show that the bubble columns equipped with or without internals displayed a symmetric cross-sectional gas holdup distribution for all studied superficial gas velocities. However, the bubble column with -inch internals (sparse arrangement) produced a more symmetric distribution than the bubble column equipped with 0.5-inch internals (dense arrangement). The design of the configurations of internals affect significantly on the gas holdup distribution especially at the core and wall region of the reactor The reconstructed linear attenuation coefficients (μ, cm- ) values are close to the theoretical values. The comparison shows good agreement of these for empty columns and bubble column equipped with internals The gamma-ray computed tomography technique was capable of capturing the wall thickness of a column and the internals. The present work provides, for the first time, benchmarking data to validate reactor models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and consequently will facilitate the design and scale-up of bubble column with internals. 4/26/207 3
