PCT No. PCT/EP94/01936 Sec. 371 Date May 1, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 1, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 14, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/29018 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 22, 1994An exothermic chemical reaction, for example, hydroformylation, is carried out in a series of loop reactors. Fresh reactant feed is supplied not only to the first reactor in the series but also to the second reactor, thereby achieving improved overall throughput while maintaining a stable temperature in at least the first reactor.
