INTEGRATED SELECTIVE OXIDATION REACTOR APPARATUS AND PROCESS

摘要

An integrated selective oxidation reactor apparatus for selectively oxidizin g carbon monoxide in the presence of high concentrations of hydrogen comprises an arr ay of catalyst packed tubes disposed within a waste heat recovery steam generator operating at a selected pressure corresponding to the optimum temperature for conducting the catalyt ic oxidation reaction and a process for useful recovery of the exothermic heat of reactio n to generate steam that is used in a process for the conversion of hydrocarbon feedstock into useful gases such as hydrogen.
