Abstract
A cylindrical reactor containing a radial particle bed suitable for hydrocarbon reforming comprises: a reactor inlet (1) having a means of feeding a charge, numerous perforated, internal conduits (5) arranged around the periphery of the reactor and parallel to the axis of the reactor, which feed particle bed (2) with the charge, a circular collar (8) supporting the conduits in the lower bottom of the reactor, a perforated (7) central collector (3) receiving a reactor effluent connected to an outlet (14). Collar (8) is perforated with openings (9) plumb with each conduit (5) and it comprises a vertical, circular grate (11) that is perforated with holes (12) impervious to particles and is suspended on the collar so as to delimit, with the wall of the reactor, a ring-shaped chamber (10) for circulation of the charge, the height of the grate being adjusted so that it delimits an internal passage between the grate and the bottom of the reactor, which is made impervious to particles by a fabric whose upper part is attached to the grate and whose lower part rests on the bottom of the reactor.
