REACTOR SYSTEM FOR CATALYTIC DEHYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBONS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: device for catalytic dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons; petrochemical industry. SUBSTANCE: proposed reactor system for catalytic dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons includes two reactors connected in series and reaction mixture preheater located between them. Proposed system is provided with radial-type reactors containing cylindrical housing and circular basket filled with catalyst and mounted coaxially; said basket is made from perforated cylinder; body of revolution is placed in basket; ratio of areas of holes of inner perforated cylinders of second and first reactors is 1.05: 1.64 and that of outer cylinders is 1.02:1.55. Ratio of areas of holes of outer and inner perforated cylinders for each reactor is 1.15:3.5; distance between perforated cylinders in each reactor is equal to 0.05 to 0.25 of height of perforated cylinder. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of process due to more effective distribution of pressure and flows of reaction mass. 3 cl, 1 dwg
