Abstract
This study aims to fully characterise the Stirred from Top Internal Recycle Reactor (STIRR) by means of a residence time distribution (RTD) study to determine its suitability for catalyst testing for High Temperature Fischer-Tropsch studies. It is required to not only ensure that the reactor behaves as a perfectly mixed CSTR, and but also to confirm that there is indeed sufficient flow through the catalyst bed thus ensuring adequate gas-catalyst contact.
