METHOD FOR THE PROCESS ENGINEERING OF THERMAL AND PRESSURE-LOADED MULTI-PHASE REACTORS, SPECIFICALLY HYDRATING REACTORS IN THE SUMMING PHASE

摘要

The invention provides pressure protection for the interior casing of hydrogenation reactors by the use of a manifold interconnecting the annular chambers of the aforesaid reactors with the processed-gas vapor path whereby process-conditioned pressure changes generated during the reaction process are simultaneously balanced. As a result, the interior casings of the reactors which define the reaction vessel can be made of relatively thin material as compared to conventional reaction vessels.
