Abstract
A process to optimize a slurry Fischer-Tropsch catalyst life and to further optimize removal of debris from a slurry Fischer-Tropsch process is provided. The process passes a part of a Fischer-Tropsch Reactor slurry inventory to another upstream Fischer-Tropsch Reactor where the Fischer-Tropsch reactors are connected in series. The process utilizes either multiple or a single transfer vessel and optionally, a motive gas.
