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 present invention describes a device and a method for dense and homogeneous loading of catalyst into the annular space of bayonet tubes employed in a steam reforming reactor, said device being constituted by a series of removable helical elements.
Abstract:
This invention has as its object a process for selective hydrogenation of an unsaturated olefinic feedstock that comprises 3 or 4 carbon atoms, using at least two switchable fixed-bed reactors, each containing at least one catalytic bed and in which said feedstock successively passes through all of the reactors, and in which, each time that one of the reactors is deactivated, the point of introduction of the feedstock is moved downstream.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a device and a method for dense and homogeneous loading of catalyst into the annular space 4 of bayonet tubes defined by an external tube 6 and an internal tube 5 used in a steam reforming reactor, said device using a rigid auxiliary tube 7 for introducing solid particles into said annular zone 4.
Abstract:
The catalytic reactor consists of a chamber 1 that contains at least one catalyst bed 2 in solid form, with the reactor being supplied with effluent to be treated by a pipe 3 that empties into a separation means 4 between gas and liquid, with the liquid obtained from the separator being collected in a tank, and a plate 9 being arranged between the separation means 4 and the solid catalyst bed 2. The plate 9 consists of at least two closed boxes 10, with at least two vertical tubes 11 provided with openings 12 linking with the interiors of the boxes 10 passing through the boxes, and with the liquid distribution means 8 channeling the liquid from the tank into said boxes 10.
