  • GEOMETRY OF A CATALYTIC REACTOR COMBINING GOOD MECHANICAL STRENGTH AND GOOD FLUID DISTRIBUTION
    Publication number: 20160317990
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compact catalytic reactor comprising at least three plates with at least one area of millimetric channels on each plate, promoting heat exchange, and at least one distribution area upstream and/or downstream of the area of millimetric channels, the channels being separated by walls. The distribution areas are characterized by: the discontinuity of the walls along the distribution area on the side of the inflow of gaseous flows or on the side of the outflow thereof; and the increase in the width of the walls along the distribution area on the side of the inflow of gaseous flows or on the side of the outflow thereof.

  • Process for the continuous polymerization with micromixing of reactive fluids
    Patent number: 6892958
    Abstract: The process for the continuous preparation of homopolymers or copolymers by free-impinging-jet micromixing of fluids formed (1) of monomer(s) and (2) of an initiator system consists in micromixing the said fluids (1) and (2) and in recovering the mixture of these fluids in the form of a resultant jet Jr, originating from the point of impingement (I), the micromixture being obtained by: a) forming at least one group of at least two jets Ja of the said identical or different fluids, these jets coinciding at a point of impingement (I), the jets Ja of the same group all being of identical geometry, their axes being arranged such that their projections on a plane perpendicular to the axis (A) of the resultant jet Jr are distributed angularly in a uniform manner and these axes being inclined relative to the said axis (A) by the same non-zero angle ? of not more than 90°; b) simultaneously directing at the point of impingement (I) at least one jet Jb of a fluid which is different from at least one of the fluids o
