Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de réaction catalytique à plusieurs réacteurs. Un four est divisé en une partie de transfert intensifié de chaleur et une chambre de combustion. Chacun des réacteurs est disposé partiellement dans la chambre de combustion et dans la partie de transfert intensifié de chaleur. Une matière de grains est entassée entre les réacteurs dans la partie de transfert intensifié de chaleur ce qui permet de réaliser une répartition plus uniforme de chaleur par conduction, convection et rayonnement. L'invention est utilisable pour le reforming d'hydrocarbures en présence de vapeur pour produire de l'hydrogène.The present invention relates to a multi-reactor catalytic reaction apparatus. A furnace is divided into an intensified heat transfer part and a combustion chamber. Each of the reactors is partially disposed in the combustion chamber and in the intensified heat transfer part. A grain material is packed between the reactors in the intensified heat transfer part which allows for a more uniform distribution of heat by conduction, convection and radiation. The invention can be used for the reforming of hydrocarbons in the presence of steam to produce hydrogen.
