Preferably, the tubular neck 8 is of a substantially constant width andcross-sectionalarea. Even more speci?cally, the screen seal 2 comprises a ?rst seal chamber 4 having a conical opening at 4a, a cylindrical middle portion communicating with the conical opening, and a conical end portion at 4b com municating with the cylindrical portion. The opening tapers from wider to narrower in a direction toward the cylindricalportion.Theconicalendportiontapersfrom wider to narrower in a direction away from the cylin dricalmiddleportion. 4 feeder tubes 27 conduct a ?uid reaction mass in either direction through the screen seals 2 and reaction cham ber 24. The reaction chamber 24 iscircumscribed by a solid annulus 26 which constitutes the wall of the reac 5 torhousing14.Athickwall26isrequiredforreactions carried out under moderate or high pressure. Reference isnow made toFIG. 3,inwhich isshown a second embodiment of a modular chemical reactor, made in accordance with the principles of the present invention,andgenerallydesignatedbythenumeral28. The reactor 28 shown in FIG. 3 differs from the reactor 12 shown in FIG. 2 only by having an annular space 30 instead of a solid annulus 26 between the cen tral channel 24 and the reactor housing 32 having ?rst 5,385,712 Thescreenseal2furthercomprisesaconicalconver 15 andsecondends320and32b.Aninnerwall34de?nes gence chamber 6, a cylindrical passageway 8 connect ingthe?rstsealchamber4totheconvergencechamber 6,a second seal chamber 5,and a ?at perforated mem ber 10 disposed between the convergence chamber 6 andthesecondsealchamber5inaplaneperpendicular20 usedtocarryoutbatchorcontinuous-?owreactionsat to the cylindrical passageway 8.

The second seal chamber 5 is substantially wider than the ?rst seal chamber 4. The screen 10 serves a dual purpose and performs dual functions. The ?rst function is to screen out or 30 a plurality of reactors 12 connected in series. Flow selectivelyseparatelargerparticlesfromsmallerparti cles.

The reactor 28 can be used to carry out reactions at atmospheric pressure, or at pressures slightly above atmospheric. Either embodiment 12 or 28 of the reactor can be atmosphericpressureorunderanegativepressure(par tialvacuum). Preferably, both reactors 12 and 28 are cylindrical. Even more preferably, both reactor housings 14 and 32 preferably, the housing 14 and reaction chamber 24 are coaxial,andthehousing32andreactionchamber24are coaxial.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the volumes of the reaction chambers 24 in reactors 12 and 28 can be varied while maintaining a constant outside diameter of the reactors by varying the length of the reactors. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that variouskindsofaccessory/auxiliaryequipmentorhard ware can and may be utilized in combination with the reactors 12 and 28, as, for example, steam or cooling coils to heat or cool the reactors and reactor contents, meterstomeasuretherateof?ow throughthereactors, and thermometers or thermocouples to measure reacPDF Image | MODULAR CHEMICAL REACTOR
