Abstract
The invention relates to a fission reactor (1) for a Claus plant, comprising a fireproof lined boiler (9), which contains a combustion chamber (2) with an influx opening for a mixture of fuel gas, air and acid gas containing H2S, a catalyst chamber (10) with a catalyst bed and a chamber on the outflow side (11) comprising a gas outlet for a hot process gas that contains elemental sulphur. According to the invention, the boiler is configured as a horizontal cylindrical boiler, in which the combustion chamber (2), the catalyst chamber and the chamber on the outflow side (11) are located next to one another. The catalyst chamber is delimited on both sides in the flow direction by gas-permeable chequer bricks (14) and has a fill opening (15) on the shell side for introducing the catalyst bed.
