Abstract

Process for synthesis of hydrocarbons by Fischer-Tropsch reaction starting from synthesis gas, operating in three-phase fluidization, the reactor having an exchanger immersed within the fluidized bed and using as coolant a fluid introduced at its boiling point at a pressure slightly greater than the pressure of the process, this boiling point being from 10 to 70° C. below the temperature of the process.
