Summary:The inventions is directed to a new design for catalyst tubes, which makes it possible to apply the concept of regenerative reforming into steam reformers having catalyst tube inlets and outlets at opposite sides of the furnace chamber. The catalyst tube comprises an inlet for process gas to enter the catalyst tube and an outlet for process gas to exit the catalyst tube, which inlet and outlet are located at opposite ends of the catalyst tube. The catalyst tube further comprises a first annular channel comprising the catalyst, a second annular channel for process gas to flow countercurrently or co-currently to the process gas flowing through the first annular channel. L'invention concerne une nouvelle conception pour tubes catalytiques, qui permet d'appliquer le concept de reformage régénératif dans des reformeurs à vapeur ayant des entrées et des sorties de tube catalytique sur des côtés opposés de la chambre du four. Le tube catalytique comprend une entrée pour que le gaz de traitement entre dans le tube catalytique et une sortie pour que le gaz de traitement sorte du tube catalytique, lesquels orifices d'entrée et de sortie sont situés aux extrémités opposées du tube catalytique. Le tube catalytique comprend en outre un premier canal annulaire comprenant le catalyseur, un second canal annulaire pour que le gaz de traitement s'écoule à contre-courant ou co-courant vers le gaz de traitement s'écoulant à travers le premier canal annulaire.
