PROCESS USING A PNEUMATIC SYSTEM FOR DENSE CATALYST LOADING IN BAYONET TUBES FOR A STEAM REFORMING REACTOR-EXCHANGER, USING AN AUXILIARY TUBE FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF SOLID PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention describes a device and a method for dense and homogeneous loading of catalyst into the annular space 4 of bayonet tubes defined by an external tube 6 and an internal tube 5 used in a steam reforming reactor, said device using a rigid auxiliary tube 7 for introducing solid particles into said annular zone 4.
