Apparatus for a Radial-Flow Reactor and Method for Assembly Thereof

摘要

An apparatus for a radial-flow reactor according to various approaches includes an inner partition assembly having an inwardly tapered bottom portion. According to various approaches, an inner partition assembly support includes a socket with a tapered upper rim. A process according to various aspects includes assembling a radial-flow reactor by installing an inner partition assembly by aligning a bottom portion of the inner partition assembly with an opening of a inner partition assembly support socket and lowering the bottom portion into the opening.
