1. A load-following reactor system, comprising:
at least one reactor configured for carrying out at least one chemical reaction;
a reactant line configured to convey a flow of reactants;
a first heat exchanger through which a first portion of the flow of reactants is configured to pass by means of a first feed line to the at least one reactor, wherein the first heat exchanger employs a heat exchange medium external to heat generated from the at least one reactor, to pre-heat the first portion of the flow of reactants;
at least one valve element configured to control a flowrate of the first portion to the first feed line; and
at least one second feed line connected to the at least one reactor through which a remainder portion of the flow of reactants is configured to pass.
