In a process for exothermic heterogeneous synthesis, for example of ammonia, in which the synthesis gas is reacted in several catalytic beds with axial-radial or just radial flow, the reacted gas is collected at the outlet from the last catalytic bed and is transferred to a reaction heat recovery system situated at the top of the reactor. An improved reactor comprises three catalytic beds (6, 7, 13) with at least two inverted curve bottoms, a first quenching system (Q1) with its distributor situated inside the first upper bed, immediately under the unperforated portion of the internal wall of said bed, a gas/gas exchanger (5) central to at least one of the two upper beds, a water pre-heater or a boiler (RC) inside the shell upper bottleneck, and an internal central tube (X3) to take to the top the reacted gas collected in the third bed. |
