| 1. A chemical reactor having a first face and a second face, the reactor comprising at least two reactor units disposed adjacent
one another, wherein each reactor unit comprises:
a first process layer;
a second process layer;
a first perimeter barrier disposed between the first and second process layers, wherein the first perimeter barrier and the
first and second process layers are arranged to define a first cavity, the first cavity having a portion opening onto the
first face;
a second perimeter barrier disposed between the second process layer and a first process layer of an adjacent reactor unit,
wherein the second perimeter barrier, the second process layer, and the first process layer of the adjacent reactor unit are
arranged to define a second cavity, the second cavity having a portion opening onto the second face; and
wherein one of the first or second process layer is coupled with at least one of the first or second perimeter barrier to
form a frame.
