REACTOR FOR CONDUCTING CATALYTIC PROCESSES Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: units for conducting catalytic processes; oil-refining and petrochemical industries; catalytic reforming of gasoline. SUBSTANCE: proposed reactor has housing with central perforated pipe arranged inside it. This pipe is provided with stepped flow velocity dampener consisting of separating rings and outlet pipe with area of perforations no less than 20% of exposed surface. Besides that, it is blanked off at one end and its other end is connected with raw material inlet branch pipe. Located over generatrix of housing are perforated chutes which are closed at one end and connected with receiving collector and reaction product outlet branch pipe by means of bypasses provided with thermal compensators at other end. Catalyst layer fills free space of reactor. Catalyst discharge branch pipe is found in reactor bottom. EFFECT: reduced specific consumption of catalyst due to low velocity of inlet flow. 2 dwg
