Abstract
A device and method for use in the catalysis of a chemical reaction having a container with a fluid inlet thereto and a fluid outlet therefrom and a plurality of catalyst bodies assembled therein. In order to enhance the mixing of reactants in the device, the catalyst bodies are randomly arranged in the container and in order to reduce resistance to flow of reactants through the device, the catalyst bodies each have a plurality of internal channels of an ordered, pre-determined size and arrangement for permitting substantially unrestricted flow of reactants therethrough.
