Procedure for the optimization of the synthesis of hydrocarbons.

A process for producing hydrocarbons from hydrogen and carbon monoxide by reacting hydrogen and carbon monoxide in a reaction zone comprising solid catalyst particles and liquid medium substantially inert, comprising: conducting the reaction in a single turbulence zone reaction within a cuvette bed reactor boiling adapted for the reaction of gases in the presence of a substantially inert liquid medium and solid particulate catalyst wherein gas comprising one or more of hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas carbon are introduced in a plurality of locations within the reaction zone such that bubbles of the gases flow upward through the reaction zone comprising solid catalyst particles and substantially inert liquid medium at sufficient velocity to expand the bed to a volume greater than its static volume; and the queel liquid medium substantially inert both is added as it is removed from the reaction zone, thereby creating a flow which facilitates the expansion of the bed to the point wherein at least part of the solid catalyst is in a state of random motion ; and further wherein hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide gas, or a mixture thereof is introduced at a plurality of predetermined distances from the base of the trough distances.
