Abstract
The invention relates to a reactor for carrying out gas phase chemical reactions and having at least one compartment (8) incorporating a catalytic lining (31) in which radially circulates at least one gas. As the upper wall (32), it has at least one layer (19) of at least one flexible material such as a tight, inert, refractory material fabric. This fabric optionally cooperates with a first layer of balls (12) resting on the fabric. It is placed on the biller (31) in such a way that it completely covers the latter. The reactor is used in the reforming of fuels.
