Abstract
A reactor assembly includes a first block having an array of reactors defined therein and a second block having an array of openings defined within a surface of the second block. Each opening of he array of openings is substantially aligned with a corresponding opening of the array of reactors so that that each reactor is associated with at least one corresponding opening defined within the surface of the second block when the surface of the second block is placed on a surface of the first block. The first block is removably sealed against each surface defining the array of openings. A network of channels is defined within the second block. The network of channels is in fluid communication with a fluid source.
Claims20
A reactor assembly, comprising:
- a first block having an array of reactors defined therein;
- and
- a second block having an array of openings defined within a surface of the second block, the array of openings aligned with openings of the array of reactors so that each reactor is associated with at least one corresponding opening defined within the surface of the second block when the surface of the second block is placed on a surface of the first block;
- and
- a network of channels defined within the second block, the network of channels in fluid communication with a fluid source defined within the second block, wherein the network of channels is configured within the second block to provide a continuous flow of fluid through the network of channels to each of the reactors.

A cleaner assembly for a reactor assembly having an array of reactors defined therein, comprising:
- a flat plate having an upper surface and a lower surface and mountable on the reactor assembly;
- an array of openings defined within the lower surface;
- a network of channels defined within the flat plate, wherein the flat plate is removably sealed against a surface defining an opening for each reactor of the array of reactors;
- and
- a fluid source coupled to the network of channels, the fluid source operable to provide a continuous flow of fluid through the network of channels to each opening of the array of openings.
