IMPROVEMENT TO A REACTOR AND TO A METHOD FOR GASEOUS PHASE ENDOTHERMAL REACTIONS

摘要

The invention relates to a reactor for carrying out a gaseous-phase endothermal reaction that has a cylindrical shape along a vertical axis and comprises at least four annular areas centred on the vertical axis and following each other from the edge to the centre of the reactor: a first so-called feeding area (201), a second so-called catalytic area (202), a third so-called collecting area (203) and a fourth so-called exchange area (204). The reactor also includes vertical sealed panels (65) located along the radii of the cylindrical reactor diving said reactor into sectors, said sectors each including at least one exchange section (61) and at least one catalytic section (62). The first two exchange sections are connected and a duct (64) connects the collecting section of each sector, except for the first and last sector, to the exchange section of the following sector. The invention also relates to a method for implementing the reactor of the invention.
