METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A HYBRID FLOW REVERSAL CATALYTIC REACTOR

摘要

The invention relates to a hybrid reverse flow catalytic reactor having two different catalyst beds. A first catalytic bed located in a central region of the reactor is provided with a low activity catalyst and a second catalyst bed located in a peripheral region of the reactor is provided with a low activity catalyst. The provision of two catalyst beds containing different catalysts reduces the effect of radial temperature gradients in the reactor and improves the overall efficiency of the reactor.
