Abstract: A technique of cooling of a reactor with a fixed catalytic bed for exothermic catalytic syntheses, such as the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis of liquid fuels by selective hydrogenation of the monoxide of carbon (CO) by the hydrogen (H2), includes mixing of these two gases being called “synthesis gas” or “syngas”, and is characterized by the fact that the heat of such synthesis is taken away by a heat medium of non-fossil origin and having a high boiling point in comparison with water and that at least a part of the resultant vapors of such boiling heat medium is extracted from the reactor to feed, as a carbonaceous matter, another reactor, called “reformer”, in which this vapor is converted into syngas to feed the aforesaid reactor of exothermic synthesis.

Abstract: The process and the device of assistance by electric discharge plasma for a partial oxidization of various liquids or gas, has for object the gas rich production of CO and H2 (syngas) can contain the CH4 and C2H4 also, this without soot formation. Carbonaceous matters considered here are fossil origin (as the diesel oil, gas, the kerosene, the naphtha, the heavy oil, the natural gas, etc.) or renewable (as the rape oil, the ethanol, the glycerol, the biooil, the molasses, the biogas, etc.). Products conversion is obtained in a device by electric discharge plasma GlidArc-I, installed in a superior compartment of the device and communicating directly with its full lower compartment by a refractory porous containing oxides of nickel. The GlidArc-I first of all serves to light the electro-reinforced total combustion of a flux reduce a carbonaceous (fuel) mixed with a gas combustive base of oxygen (for example air).
