Patent ID: 7919056

Claim:
A micro-reactor system assembly, comprising a stack of: at least n process modules ( 1 - 6 ), wherein n is an integer equal to or greater than 1, each process module ( 1 - 6 ) being made from a rigid first material and comprising at least one reactive fluid passage (IA, IB, 2 A, 3 A, 6 A) which penetrates said process module ( 1 - 6 ) between at least one reactive fluid inlet port ( 1 C, 1 D, 2 C, 2 D, 3 C, 6 C) and at least one reactive fluid outlet port (IE, IF, 2 E, 3 D, 6 D), for accommodating and guiding a reactive fluid, wherein in case of at least two process modules ( 1 - 6 ) said at least two process modules ( 1 - 6 ) are connected in series; and at least n+1 heat exchange modules ( 7 , 8 ) each of said heat exchange modules ( 7 , 8 ) being made from a ductile second material other than said first material and comprising at least one heat exchange fluid passage ( 7 A, 8 A) which penetrates said heat exchange module ( 7 , 8 ) between at least one heat exchange fluid inlet port ( 7 B, 8 B) and at least one heat exchange fluid outlet port ( 7 C, 8 C), for accommodating and guiding a heat exchange fluid, wherein said at least n+1 heat exchange modules ( 7 , 8 ) are connected in series, wherein each process module ( 1 - 6 ) is sandwiched between two adjacent heat exchange modules ( 7 , 8 ).
