Abstract:
The invention relates to a distributor tray (2) for a gas/liquid heat and/or material exchange column comprising means (4) allowing passage of the gas through the tray. The tray comprises an upper plate (P1) and a lower plate (P2) with each plate comprising at least two distinct liquid passage means. The openings (10, 11) of the upper plate (P1) and positioned at distinct elevations with at least one means (10) of upper plate (P1) having a lower elevation communications with one of means (12) of the lower plate through a supply line (9). The invention also relates to a gas/liquid heat and/or material exchange column equipped distributor tray (2) and to a floating barge comprising such a column and to the use of the column.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a contactor (3) for a heat and/or material exchange column comprising an arrangement of two structured packings (A, B) developing different geometric surface areas and having parallel principal directions.The invention also relates to a heat exchange column, to a floating structure and to the use of a column equipped with such a contactor.
Abstract:
A tray (100) for a gas/liquid contact column, comprising a plurality of chimneys (108) jutting over a portion (101) of the upper face of the tray for the exclusive passage of gas through the tray; they are substantially parallelepipedal and mutually parallel. At least one of the chimneys (108) is surmounted by an elevated hat (108′) with a streamlined profile which prevents the passage of liquid through the chimney. The hat comprises a lower body (180) which is substantially semi-cylindrical, elongated along the longitudinal axis Y and open towards the top, extended laterally by two planar fins (181, 182) inclined towards the axis of revolution (R) of the lower body at an angle θ in the range 0° to 30° with respect to the axis Z passing through the chimneys, aligned with their height.
Abstract:
A device for mixing and distributing fluids for a downward flow catalytic reactor, said device comprising: a collection zone comprising at least one collection means; at least one substantially vertical collection conduit adapted to receive a reaction fluid collected by said collection means and at least one injection means; a mixing zone; and a distribution zone comprising a distribution plate supporting a plurality of chimneys; characterised in that said mixing zone is disposed at the same level as the distribution zone, said mixing and distribution zones being delimited by at least one annular wall comprising at least one lateral passage section adapted for the passage of the fluids from said mixing zone to said distribution zone.
Abstract:
The invention is a distributor tray (2) of a column for heating and/or material exchanging material between a gas and a liquid, comprising gas passage casings (4), liquid passages (6) and a secondary distribution system (7) projecting from the lower part of tray (2). Secondary distribution system (7) allows the liquid to be collected and distributed more homogeneously over the contactor. The invention also relates to a gas/fluid heat or material exchange column comprising such a distributor tray.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a contactor (3) comprising a random packing arrangement (A) in several compartments. The compartments can be delimited by perforated plates (P) or by structured packing walls.The invention also relates to a heat exchange column, to a floating structure and to the use of a column equipped with such a contactor.
Abstract:
The catalytic reactor with downward flow comprises a chamber (1) containing at least two solid catalyst beds (2; 11) separated by an intermediate zone comprising an essentially horizontal collecting plate (5) communicating with a vertical collecting pipe (7) for receiving fluids collected by the collecting plate, with a means for injecting a quenching fluid (8) emptying into the collecting pipe. An annular mixing chamber (9) is located below the collecting plate (5). A predistribution plate (11) is arranged below the chamber (9).The injection means (8) comprises a tubular portion that empties into the collecting pipe (7) in such a way as to inject quenching fluid in a direction forming an angle θ between 45° and 135° with the direction D from the axis of the mixing chamber measured at its input end.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a distributor plate adapted to co-current downflow flows of gas and of liquid, more particularly in the “trickle” mode, said distributor plate integrating a filtration function separate from the distribution function.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a plate that allows the distribution of a polyphase mixture in a reactor that operates in the trickle mode and that consists of at least one gaseous phase and at least one liquid phase, with the plate (10) being located above a catalytic particle bed, comprising a number of shafts (3), characterized in that a portion of the shafts of the plate, located close to the wall of the reactor chamber, called peripheral shafts, are truncated.The invention also relates to the use of the plate in a reactor for the purpose of carrying out reactions of hydrotreatment, hydrogenation, or oxidation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for depolymerization of a polyester feedstock, comprising:
a) conditioning of the feedstock using a means for at least partially melting the feedstock and at least one mixer, which are fed with the feedstock and a diol stream, with a ratio by weight between the diol stream and the feedstock of between 0.01 and 6.00, the volume degree of dilution with diol in each mixer being between 3% and 70%; b) depolymerization of the polyester feedstock at 150-300° C., the ratio by weight between the diol and the diester in step b) being adjusted between 0.3 and 8.0; c) optionally, the separation of the diol, at a temperature of between 60 and 250° C. and a pressure lower than that of step b).
