Abstract
A modular flow reactor is formed of a plurality of modules, wherein each module comprises a body having at least one conduit passing therethrough, and wherein a plurality of said modules are aligned along a longitudinal axis such that said conduits of said modules are aligned to form a passage for fluid, wherein each module has a length along said longitudinal axis which is less than the length of the module perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The modules are “slices” rather than “tubes” and a plurality of said modules can be aligned linearly so that the conduits form a tube.
Claims29
A modular flow reactor formed of a plurality of modules, wherein
- a. each module includes a body having at least one conduit passing therethrough,
- b. several of the modules are aligned along a longitudinal axis such that the conduits of the modules are aligned to form a passage for fluid, and
- c. each module has a length along the longitudinal axis which is less than the length of the module perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,
- the reactor including at least one end-cap configured to fit to at least one end of the reactor, wherein the end-cap has at least one conduit which is of smaller internal diameter than the conduit of the passage.
