A multiphase reactor device incorporating a stack of monolith catalysts comprising monolith slabs (spacers) between adjacent monolith blocks, the stack, preferably of larger channel diameters and higher void fractions than the monolith blocks, the spacers (i) reducing hydraulic restriction and channel blocking at the stacking interface, (ii) increasing the number of block interfaces for the disruption and mixing of the laminar film falling down the monolith wall and, (iii) for counter-current applications, raising the resistance of the stack to flooding to broaden the operating window or range of gas and liquid flow velocities operable in the reactor.
