A converter comprising an exterior shell of a strong, heat resistant weldable metal having an interior core tube formed of such metal and vertically disposed, partway within the shell from an upper part thereof. A foundation is provided from which the shell vertically extends. A plurality of catalyst beds are arranged one above the other within the shell and comprise at least one full catalyst bed having a first full bed extending essentially across a lower part of the shell, and at least one annular catalyst bed having a first annular bed between the shell at an upper part thereof and the core tube. Partitions define with the core tube a plurality of distinct, non-concentric, non-coaxial gas passages within the core tube. Each of the annular beds is in singular, gaseous communication within the shell with at least one of the passages. The converter has minimal axial gaseous flow transfer passages for maximum catalyst bed volume while preserving axial access to the beds. |
