Abstract:
An internal recycle reactor for catalytic inerting has a monolithic body having a motive fluid duct, a suction chamber, a mixing region, a reactor section, an outlet, and a recycle passage. The suction chamber includes a suction chamber inlet. The mixing region is configured to receive gaseous fluids from the motive fluid duct and the suction chamber inlet to produce a gaseous mixture. The reactor section includes a catalyst and is configured to receive the gaseous mixture from the mixing region. The outlet is configured to deliver an exhaust gas from the reactor section and the recycle passage is configured to deliver a portion of the exhaust gas to the suction chamber inlet.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of catalytic inerting comprising:\n flowing a reactant gas to a first inlet of an ejector; flowing a portion of an exhaust gas from an ejector outlet to a second inlet of the ejector; mixing the reactant gas with the exhaust gas to produce a gaseous mixture; flowing the gaseous mixture through a catalyst disposed in the ejector, wherein the catalyst is disposed in a reactor section of the ejector located between a mixing chamber and the ejector outlet and wherein the catalyst fills a cross-sectional area of the reactor section such that the gaseous mixture is directed through the catalyst; reacting the gaseous mixture with the catalyst to produce an exhaust gas comprising an inert gas; and flowing the exhaust gas from the catalyst through a plurality of recycle passages, wherein the recycle passages fluidly connect the ejector outlet to the second inlet of the ejector and wherein the reactant gas provides a motive flow that drives the flow of the exhaust gas into the second inlet by suction.
