Abstract
A chemical reactor for catalytic reactions, comprises a substantially cylindrical shell (2) closed at the opposite ends by respective covers (3 and 4), at least one reaction zone (7, 8) in which a respective catalytic bed (9, 10) and a plurality of heat exchangers (25) placed in said at least one reaction zone (7, 8) are supported.
Claims3
A method for carrying out catalytic chemical reactions, comprising the steps of:
- feeding reactants to at least one reaction zone of a chemical reactor comprising a catalytic bed and a plurality of heat exchangers placed in said catalytic bed, said heat exchangers being grouped into structurally independent heat exchange units;
- and
- feeding respective different operating heat exchange fluids to said heat exchange units for controlling the reaction temperature under pseudo-isothermal conditions.
