ADIABATIC REACTOR AND A PROCESS AND A SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A METHANE-RICH GAS IN SUCH ADIABATIC REACTOR

摘要

An adiabatic reactor comprising a first inlet and a first outlet defining a first flowpath between the first inlet and the first outlet and a second inlet and a second outlet defining a second flowpath between the second inlet and the second outlet, wherein the first flowpath and the second flowpath are directed in opposite directions; wherein both the first flowpath and the second flowpath comprise a catalyst; and wherein at least part of the first flowpath and at least part of the second flowpath are thermally connected via a wall separating the first flowpath from the second flowpath. In addition a methanation process and system using the adiabatic reactor is provided.
