  • Radial flow reactor with movable supports
    Patent number: 8216343
    Abstract: A radial flow reactor vessel is disclosed for use in gas purification, separation or reaction processes and most suitably used in prepurification processes. The reactor has internal baskets for confining a bed of active material. The baskets are rigidly supported at both the top and bottom ends of the reactor and have walls that are axially flexible and radially rigid. The vessel has multiple movable support columns designed to facilitate pre-stressing of the baskets to offset axial compressive loads induced from thermal cycling.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2010
    Date of Patent: July 10, 2012
    Assignee: Praxair Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark William Ackley, Cem E. Celik, Jeffert John Nowobilski, James Stanley Schneider
  • Radial flow reactor
    Patent number: 8101133
    Abstract: A radial flow reactor is disclosed for use in gas purification, separation or reaction processes and most suitably used in prepurification processes. The reactor has two concentric internal baskets which are rigidly supported at both the top and bottom ends of the reactor. The reactor has a removable section in the inner basket to accommodate rotating arms to dense load one or more layers of active materials between the concentric baskets.
