  • Multi-structured reactor made of monolithic adjacent thermoconductive bodies for chemical processes with a high heat exchange
    Patent number: 10011776
    Abstract: A multi-structured tubular element for producing a reactor for effecting exothermic/endothermic chemical reactions, comprises two or more monolithic thermoconductive bodies, assembled together so that each has a part of the side surface interfaced with the side surface of one or more monolithic thermoconductive bodies adjacent thereto, so as to form as a whole, a honeycomb structure containing a plurality of longitudinal channels extending from one end to the other of said tubular element, suitable for being filled with a granular catalytic solid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 27, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2018
    Assignee: Eni S.p.A.
    Inventors: Marco Paturzo, Mauro Favaretto, Marzio Piazza, Pio Forzatti, Gianpiero Groppi, Luca Lietti, Enrico Tronconi, Carlo Giorgio Visconti
  • Reactor for exothermic or endothermic catalytic reactions
    Patent number: 9387456
    Abstract: Reactor for Fischer-Tropsch reaction which is carried out in a three-phase system essentially consisting of a reacting gaseous phase, a reacted liquid phase and a solid catalytic phase, wherein the solid catalytic phase consists of packed or structured bodies of catalytic material encaged within at least one honeycomb monolithic structure with a high thermal conductivity.
