Abstract

A reactor with minimal dead volume especially suited to reverse-flow applications comprises: a) a reactor body; b) a first head engaged with said reactor body; c) a first conduit extending from outside said head to at least partially through said head; and d) a first valve in flow communication with said first conduit controlling fluid flow along a flow path extending from the first valve and through the reactor body. The reactor is especially suited for use in a process for rapid stream-switching of at least two streams in a reverse-flow reactor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computing device for modeling a reverse-flow reactor, wherein the reactor comprises:
a) a reverse-flow reactor having a reactor body;
b) a first head engaged with said reactor body;
c) a first conduit extending from outside said head to at least partially through said head;
d) a first valve in flow communication with said first conduit controlling fluid flow along a flow path extending from the first valve and through the reactor body; wherein said f…
