METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EMPTYING A TUBE REACTOR

摘要

Method for emptying the tubes (1) of a tube reactor filled with particles (11), characterized in that a first pipe (2) is connected to one end of each tube (1) to be emptied and by introducing a second, inner pipe (4) in the tube (1) through the first pipe (2), whereby gas under pressure is injected in the tube (1) via one of the pipes (4) in order to detach the particles (11), and whereby the detached particles are extracted via the other pipe (2).
