METHOD OF HYDROCARBONS CONVERSION AND CONVERTOR FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C01B3/38 B01J7/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: converter includes housing and devices for input oxygen enriched air, fed of vapour-hydrocarbon mix and bleeding of converted gas. The housing is provided with inner fikking designed as two cylindrical tubes installed one inside the other and forming with the converter housing two radial clearances: the outer clearance for input vapour-hydrocarbon mix and inner one for output of converted gas. At that the packing made of channeled plates is provided for inner fikking, this packing forms the channels of square section; the upper part (1/20-1/25) of channels is provided with perforation track, the middle part (1/5-1/6) of channels height located lower than perforation track is filled with catalyst used for primary and secondary hydrocarbon conversions; and the lowest part (1/6-1/8) of channels height is filled with catalyst used for preliminary hydrocarbon conversion. The device for input oxygen enriched air is positioned in the upper part of channels. The method is implemented in converter. Hydrocarbon material heating and converted gas cooling are carried out by the way of its passing through heat exchanger and mixing of hydrocarbon material with water vapour, then vapour-hydrocarbon mix is fed downstream through outer radial clearance and further it is delivered up the channels through catalyst bed for implementing of preliminary and primary conversions. Then through perforation track it is fed down the channels for converted gas oxidizing and secondary vapour conversion with subsequent converted gas upflow takeoff through inner radial clearance.

EFFECT: increasing of hydrocarbon material conversion and reduction of probability of free carbon formation.
