SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR A COMPACT REACTOR WITH FINNED PANELS

摘要

Herein disclosed is a reactor comprising: a multiplicity of elements wherein each element comprises at least two folded fins and at least two spacers, wherein the at least two folded fins and spacers are attached to each other and form a flow passage for a heat transfer medium; a containment structure configured to contain the multiplicity of elements, wherein space formed between the elements and the containment structure is configured to contain a granular catalyst placed in proximity to the elements and configured to allow passage of a process fluid; and a structure placed at the bottom of the multiplicity of elements configured to support the granular catalyst. Also disclosed herein is a method of carrying out a reaction.
