The invention is particularly useful for carrying out paraffin alkylation reactions with acid catalysts and is selected from inert polymers, catalytic polymers, catalytic metals or mixtures thereof in combination with a vertical reactor having a reaction zone and a dispersion disposed in the reaction zone. An embedded static mixing system is disclosed, such as a dispersion made of multifilament material and co-woven wire mesh or expanded metal. The wire mesh not only provides the complete structure of the system but also provides the open space in the reactor for the movement of vapor and liquid through the system. The dispersant may be sheet, bundle or bale type or disposed within the frame.n n n n Contact Structures, Olefins, Paraffins, Dispersants, Static Mixing Systems, Catalysts, Wire Mesh, Expanded Metals, Multifilaments, Vertical Reactors, Alkylation |
