Abstract
A chemical reactor, flow distributor, system and method are disclosed. A plurality of chemically inert flow distributors are embedded in the receiving surface of a layer of chemically inert objects supported by a bed of catalytic material which is disposed within a chemical reactor. The flow distributors are constructed from spheres of chemically inert material interconnected to one another and defining a desirable geometric form having voids and interstices which provide passageways therethrough, the passageways permitting the reactants to pass in effectively distributed manner into the bed of catalytic material.
