Low-capacity compartmentalized reactor

Abstract

Catalytic reactor (10) with radial flow of a hydrocarbon feedstock to be treated comprising: - a reaction zone (13) enclosed in a substantially cylindrical outer shell (14) that is in the form of at least one catalytic module (15) extending along the vertical axis (AX), - an annular zone (30) located at the same level as said catalytic module (15), outside of the reaction zone (13), said catalytic reactor being characterized in that it comprises an empty space (27) located between two side walls (23. 24) of at least one catalytic module (15), located outside of the reaction zone (13) and opening onto said annular zone (30), said empty space (27) comprising at least one solid net (26) extending along the vertical axis (AX) and positioned adjacent to the collecting means (29).
