Abstract: A process for contacting reactants with a particulate catalyst while indirectly contacting the reactants with a heat exchange medium amid simultaneous exchange of catalyst particles by an operation that sequentially restricts reactant flow while moving catalyst through reaction stacks in which the reactant flow has been restricted. The process permits a change out of catalyst in a channel type reactor arrangement that would normally restrict catalyst flow during operation. Moving catalyst through a heat exchange type reactor having reactant and heat exchange channels permits control of catalyst activity as well as temperatures.

Abstract: A plate type shift converter comprises a stack of alternately piled shift reactor plates and cooling plates and various gas intake and exhaust manifolds mounted on lateral faces of the stack. Each shift reactor plate includes a plate member, a masking frame provided along the periphery of the plate member, a gas entrance formed in the masking frame, a gas exit formed at a location opposite the gas entrance in the masking frame and a shift catalyst located in the masking frame. Each cooling plate includes a plate member, a masking frame provided along the periphery of the plate member, a gas entrance formed in the masking frame, a gas exit formed at a location opposite the second gas entrance in the masking frame and a fin plate located in the masking frame. When gases are introduced to the shift reactor plate, the gases undergo the CO shift reaction (exothermic reaction) as they flow contacting the shift catalyst. At the same time, the gases are cooled by the cooling plates which sandwich the flow of the gases or sandwich the shift reactor plate.

Abstract: Void blowing by gas flow through a bed of particulate material is avoided by the use of a cover plate that eliminates void spaces at the top of the bed and a vertical duct that allows a head of particulate material to be maintained above the cover plate. The particle bed is arranged in the usual fashion using inner and outer screens to hold particulate material in a vertically extended bed into which particulate material is intermittently added and withdrawn. The top of the particulate bed is contacted by an imperforate cover plate that is sloped up to an inlet opening that has a smaller cross-sectional area than the area of the bed. The cover plate has a slope which is greater than the angle of the repose of the particles so that particles filling the top section of the bed will be free of void spaces. The cover plate also has a relatively small inlet opening so that a small volume of catalyst particles can provide a head of particles above the inlet opening to resist upward pressure that otherwise forms voids at the inlet screen surface. This cover plate arrangement also minimizes bed heights and overall reactor height necessary to provide the head of particles for resisting upward pressure.
