Method for retrofitting carbon monoxide conversion reactors

摘要

Reactors for the catalytic conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide are advantageously modified in situ from axial flow reactors into substantially radial flow reactors, and more particularly into axial-radial flow reactors. To this end at least an external cylindrical wall perforated for its whole length and an internal wall preferably perforated for most of its length are inserted inside the conventional reactor shell and cartridge.
