Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011023177A1] The invention relates to a reactor module for endothermic reactions for producing one or more products, a reactor having a plurality of such reactor modules, and a method for operating a reactor module or a reactor. The reactor module comprises a reaction channel (2; 31; 71), which is enclosed by a tubular boundary wall (2a; 31a; 75, 76) and has a first end (3; 32; 72) and a second end (4; 33; 73), at least one first inlet element (3; 35; 72) for introducing at least one reactant into the reaction channel (2; 31; 71), wherein the first inlet element (3; 35; 72) is arranged at the first end (3; 32; 72) of the reaction channel (2; 31; 71), at least one first outlet element (4; 37; 73) for discharging at least one reaction product from the reaction channel (2; 31; 71), wherein the first outlet element (4; 37; 73) is arranged at the second end (4; 33; 73) of the reaction channel (2; 31; 71), and a heat supply device in the form of a porous burner arrangement (10; 50; 60; 80), which is arranged on the outside of the tubular boundary wall (2a; 31a; 75, 76) of the reaction channel (2; 31; 71). Because a porous burner arrangement is used instead of a heat source having catalytic combustion, high reactor performance can be realized at an economically reasonable price. This is a result of the porous burner itself being substantially less expensive than a combustion catalyst.
