ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process and reactor system for carrying out non-adiabatic reactions proceeding in a process gas in presence of a catalyst exothermically or endothermically in indirect heat exchange with an appropriate heat exchange medium.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A general object of this invention is thus to provide a process for carrying out non-adiabatic reactions comprising the steps of:
introducing in parallel a first stream of reactants into a first reaction space and a second stream of reactants into a second reaction space,
at reaction conditions contacting the first reactant stream with a catalyst in the first reaction space in indirect heat exchange with a heat exchanging medium and contacting the second reactant stream with a catalyst in the second reaction space in indirect heat exchange with the heat exchanging medium, the catalyst in the first reaction space being arranged within a tubular reactor in indirect heat exchanging relationship with the heat exchanging medium by introducing the medium into tubular heat exchange space concentrically surrounding the tubular reactor with the first reaction space, the catalyst in the second reaction space being arranged on shell side of a heat exchange space in indirect heat exchanging relationship with the heat exchanging medium.
The invention is in particular useful in carrying out steam reforming reactions in a hydrocarbon feed stock by heat supplied from hot effluent gas from an autothermal steam reforming reactor and steam reformed product gas from the process.
