A catalytic reactor for converting sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide, suitable for high throughput rates of up to about 500,000 standard cubic meters per hour. The reactor includes a plurality of separate reaction chambers each containing catalyst trays connected in parallel in the gas flow path. The catalyst trays define gas spaces and alternate gas spaces are provided with inlets for supplying a partial stream of the sulfur dioxide containing gases which are divided in the gas spaces. The gas spaces adjacent to the gas spaces provided with inlets are provided with outlets for withdrawing partial streams of the gases which have passed through the catalyst trays.
