Title:
MIXING DEVICE FOR A DOWN-FLOW REACTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/138407
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel means to provide more effective mixing of gas and fluids in a height constrained interbed space of a catalytic reactor without increasing pressure drop. In particular, the device improves the effectiveness of an existing mixing volume in mixing the gas phase and liquid phase of two-phase systems. According to the present invention, the mixing device helps create a highly arcuate flow to incoming effluents and a high degree of mixing within a constrained interbed space of a catalytic reactor.
