Abstract

A structure and method are provided for adding a catalyst bed platform to an existing reactor without welding to the structural portion of the reactor walls. The structure is constructed from components that can be passed through an existing opening in a reactor. The structure allows a catalyst bed in an existing reactor to be divided into catalyst beds with a reduced length to diameter ratio.
