Abstract: An electrified reactor system can include optional insulation, an optional pressure housing, electrical connections to/from the catalytic module, a preheater, one or more heat exchangers, a reaction zone (e.g., a reaction module, a catalyst module, etc.), one or more optional preheaters, and an operation switcher (e.g., valve, rotatory switch, controller, etc.).

Abstract: A reactor system including a plurality of catalytic modules connected end-to-end, forming a passage for reactants to pass through individually heated catalytic heating elements, thereby producing products. Each catalytic module has an insulating housing containing a catalytic heating element and configured to pass reactants over the catalytic heating element. A conductor in the module applies electricity to the catalytic heating element, which operates as a combined catalytic material and heating element.
Abstract: An electrical coupler for a resistively heated reactor system including an electrical conductor having a first end and a second end, defining a thickness therebetween, each of the first end and the second end having a first interface in the first end and a second interface in the second end and, at least one opening extending from the first end to the second end, the at least one opening configured to allow a fluid to flow through the electrical coupler.
