According to the invention, a heat exchanger tube is arranged in the interior of the structured catalyst, with the feed gas stream flowing firstly through the structured catalyst and subsequently in countercurrent through the heat exchanger tube. This improves the heat exchange between the synthesis gas product stream and the structured catalyst and the feed gas stream flowing A through it, especially in the radial direction. 12 10 1-1 3 B 1 1 11 C:7 13 N 14 C kin © —....
