Patent ID: 8512653

Claim:
A micro-reactor system assembly comprising: a first heat exchange module, said first heat exchange module having a heat exchange fluid inlet port, a heat exchange fluid outlet port and at least one heat exchange fluid passage extending between said heat exchange fluid inlet port and said heat exchange fluid outlet port for accommodating and guiding a heat exchange fluid; a second heat exchange module connected in series in a stacked arrangement with said first heat exchange module, said second heat exchange module having a heat exchange fluid inlet port, a heat exchange fluid outlet port and at least one heat exchange fluid passage extending between said heat exchange fluid inlet port and said heat exchange fluid outlet port for accommodating and guiding a heat exchange fluid; and a process module sandwiched between said first and second heat exchange modules, said process module having at least one reactive fluid passage extending between at least one reactive fluid inlet port and at least one reactive fluid outlet port for accommodating and guiding a reactive fluid, said process module further having a heat exchange fluid connection passage in fluid communication with said heat exchange fluid outlet port of said first heat exchange module and said heat exchange fluid inlet port of said second heat exchange module for fluidly connecting said at least one heat exchange fluid passage of said first heat exchange module to said at least one heat exchange fluid passage of said second heat exchange module in series.
