Abstract
The invention comprises an OCR catalyst reactor which includes passive spheres and catalyst particles having substantially the same size and separated on opposite sides of a distributor cone by a screen. The use of passive spheres of substantially the same size to the catalyst particles provides for a more uniform distribution of the gas liquid reactants charged into the reactor vessel. The screen is configured such that it provides a separation of the catalyst and the passive spheres while being sized to prevent plugging.
