Abstract
A hollow, saddle-shaped packing structure includes a pair of porous outer and inner semi-cylindrical side walls that are spaced from one another to define an interior space and a particulate catalyst component retained in the interior space between the side walls. The packing structure may be formed by a pair of saddle-shaped shell elements each of which presents one of the side walls and a pair of radially opposed laterally extending flanges The flanges are connected together by tabs welding, or the like, and the interior space between axially spaced marginal edges of the outer and inner shell elements is closed off to retain the particulate catalyst component between the side walls.
