Distributor Trays
Distributor trays for reactors fall into 3 types:
Sieve Type |
Bubble Cap Type |
Distribution Tube Type |
The most prominent is the distribution tube type with each Process Licensor having their own distinct features.
The trays are designed for two phase co-current flow and ensure good vapour and liquid distribution so that the entire bed of catalyst is used effectively.
Remixing & Quench Assemblies
A remixing & quench assembly is used between the catalyst beds to ensure efficient heat and mass transfer between the cold quench gas and the vapour & liquid effluent from the upper catalyst bed. This results in efficient heat and mass transfer with uniform composition and an even temperature profile in the bottom (lower) catalyst bed.
