Title:
SHELL AND TUBE REACTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002053491
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A fuel processing reactor (100) is provided, comprising a shift catalyst bed (120, 130) disposed in a shell and tube reactor (106). The thermal stress on the present reactor during normal operation is reduced by cooling/heating both the shell and the tubes in the reactor. The present reactor may further comprise other beds such as hydrodesulfurizer catalyst beds, metal oxide beds, or sulfur polisher beds.
