Abstract
A reactor for producing desired reaction products has a housing, a plurality of catalyst conduits within the housing, and a plurality of coolant conduits within the housing. The coolant conduits are interspersed among the catalyst conduits, and each catalyst conduit is positioned adjacent to at least two coolant conduits.
Claims45
A reactor for producing reaction products, the reactor having a longitudinal axis and comprising:
- a housing having an outer wall surrounding the longitudinal axis of the reactor;
- a plurality of catalyst conduits positioned within the housing, each catalyst conduit having a longitudinal axis oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the reactor and being configured to receive one or more catalyst materials;
- and
- a plurality of coolant conduits positioned within the housing, each coolant conduit having a longitudinal axis oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the reactor and being configured to receive one or more coolant materials,
- wherein the plurality of coolant conduits are interspersed among the plurality of catalyst conduits, and wherein each catalyst conduit of the plurality of catalyst conduits is positioned adjacent to at least two coolant conduits of the plurality of coolant conduits.
