System to improve the efficiency of reactors for exothermic synthesis and more particularly for the reaction of ammonia

Abstract From the Canadian patent

TITLE, SYSTEM TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF REACTORS FOR EXOTHERMIC SYNTHESIS AND MORE PARTICULARLY FOR THE REACTION OF AMMONIA, APPLICANT AMMONIA CASALE S.A.; UMBERTO ZARDI, INVENTOR Umberto ZARDI and Giorgio PAGANI, ABSTRACT The system to modernize reactors for exothermic heterogeneous synthesis of ammonia, methanol and the like consisting of a pressure shell, of an airspace forming wall of a wall or cartridge delimiting the catalytic beds and of, catalyst-containing baskets, now consists in providing a wall forming an airspace (with the shell) in a single piece substantially on the whole axial length of the reactor a bed-, forming wall which is entirely distinct from and totally …
