A modular reactor (10) includes a plurality of planar fluidic modules (12) arranged in a spaced-apart horizontally extending row extending in a direction D with the major surfaces (14, 16) of the modules (12) oriented generally parallel to each other. A plurality of rigid or semi-rigid fluid connectors (30) are each positioned between facing major surfaces (14, 16) of the modules, and the connectors (30) fluidically and mechanically join at least one fluid port (18a) on a first surface (24) of the facing surfaces to at least one other fluid port (18b) on a second surface (26) of the facing surfaces (14,16). The reactor (10) further comprises a horizontally extending support structure (60) extending above the row of modules (12) in the direction D, and one or more hangers (32) each supporting one of the plurality of fluidic modules (12) from the support structure (60). The hangers (32) comprise a first rotary joint (34) having a first axis (36) positioned above the respective module (12) and below the support structure (60), and optionally and desirably, a second rotary joint (38) with a second axis (40), the one or two axes (36, 40) orthogonal to the direction D. |
