1. A reactor system for an oxidative conversion of methane comprising:
a reactor vessel having a reactant inlet and a product outlet;
a pre-heating component disposed within the reactor vessel configured to receive feedstock from the reactant inlet; and
one or more reactor bodies configured to receive the feedstock from the reactant inlet via the pre-heating component, each reactor body having a plurality of channels extending from a first surface of the reactor body to a second surface of the reactor body, wherein the channels contain a catalyst, and one or more walls are disposed adjacent to one or more of the first surface and the second surface and are configured to maintain the catalyst within the plurality of channels.
