Even if they were inert rings, the extra turbulence and recirculation would help a lot, and being moderately active catalyst should make it great.<BR/><BR/>Solid catalysts are definitely not as wonderful in practice as they look in theory.John Carmackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982621440427994305noreply@blogger.com
