Abstract

A reactor for catalytically processing gaseous fluids. The invention relates to a reactor for catalytically processing gaseous fluids wherein the catalytic reaction is accompanied by a heat exchange, stationary catalysts are used, with the fluid flowing through the reactor in one direction. To this end, the fluid path-forming structures (10) are provided in the reactor housing, the structures (10) form channels (19), and the structures (10) have at least one region (11) provided with a catalyst (12), preferably coated therewith.
