Abstract

A reactor (1) comprises a plurality of reaction zones (5) divided by heat exchanger panels (2) but in fluid communication via said panels, the said reaction zones being arranged in a spiral configuration whereby the reaction zones form a flow path (7) for reactants that extends between a central part of the reactor and an outer peripheral part thereof.
