Reactor for chemical conversion of a feedstock in the presence of a diluent, with heat inputs and feedstock/catalyst cross-circulation

摘要

A reactor with integrated heat for carrying out a chemical conversion process in the presence of a gaseous diluent supplied through one or more ports at the upper and/or lower ends of a catalytic bed through which a feed moves substantially horizontally, and a process for converting a feed, such as a hydrocarbon feed in the reactor.
