Patent number: 11939915Abstract: A raw material fluid treatment plant provided with a raw material reaction apparatus for reacting a raw material fluid to form a reaction gas. The raw material reaction apparatus includes preheaters and a reactor. The preheaters are heat exchangers that perform heat exchange between a second heat transfer medium and the raw material fluid to heat the raw material fluid. The reactor is a heat exchanger that performs heat exchange between a first heat transfer medium differing from the second heat transfer medium and the raw material fluid having been heated by the preheaters to heat and react the raw material fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Hideyuki Uechi, Hidefumi Araki, Satoshi Tanimura, Masakazu Nose, Jun Sasahara, Yukio Tanaka, Atsushi Yuasa
