摘要： An integral collector-distributor device including chimney hats and adapted for use in a gas-liquid exchange column to promote radial mixing of a liquid on a distributor tray surface. The collector-distributor device includes a tray having a tray surface adapted to extend generally horizontally across the cross-sectional area of the column to collect downwardly flowing liquid. A plurality of gas risers on the tray permit the upward movement of an upwardly flowing gas through the tray, and a plurality of liquid distributors permit the generally uniform distribution of the collected downwardly flowing liquid to a lower section of the column. A plurality of chimney hats, each having an upper surface and a one and other end, extend over and above at least a portion of the gas risers, are angularly inclined from the horizontal, or are horizontal, collect downwardly flowing liquid on the upper surface and permit the collected liquid on the upper surface to flow away from the point of liquid collection to another section of the tray to promote improved liquid mixing across the tray surface and to reduce liquid concentration gradients on the tray surface. The chimney hats are of a selected width, wider that the width of the gas risers, to provide for minimal space between each adjacent chimney hat. The wide chimney hats, particularly where horizontal, may also be of different selected vertical heights to permit the upward flow of gas.

摘要： A vapor-liquid contact tray is provided which includes a plurality of openings and associated fixed roof structures which redirect vapor flowing vertically upward through the openings to horizontal flow paths. Each fixed roof structure includes a generally planar deflector which overlies and is spaced above the associated opening in the tray. The deflector is joined to the tray by end plates connected at one end to the tray and at the other end to the deflector. In one embodiment the deflector is generally parallel to the tray and divides the vertically flowing vapor stream into roughly equal oppositely flowing vapor streams. In other embodiments, the deflector is inclined in relation to the tray to preferentially direct the vapor stream in one direction or to split the vapor stream into equal portions which are directed in the same general direction. The openings and deflectors are arranged to more uniformly push the vapor and hence the liquid into and through those areas of the tray where liquid stagnation and gradients are a problem. The fixed roof structures in the row of apertures closest to liquid receiving area at the inlet end of the tray are oriented so that the end plates shield the openings against entry of liquid leaving the receiving area. Louvre-type fixed roof structures are used in association with at least some of the openings in the first row so that more rapid frothing of the liquid can be achieved with reduced incidence of liquid weeping through openings in successive rows of openings.

摘要： A vapor-liquid contact tray and downcomer assembly is provided with louvres which serve to impart a horizontal directional flow to the liquid exiting the downcomer and/or the vapor passing through the tray. The downcomer includes a bottom plate which closes the outlet region of the downcomer and includes a plurality of louvres presenting generally vertical openings in the direction of liquid flow across the underlying tray. The downcomer receiving area in the underlying tray can include similar louvres. The louvres redirect the vertical momentum of the liquid and vapor streams to a generally horizontal momentum as the liquid exits the downcomer and as the vapor rises through the tray. In other embodiments, the louvres in either the bottom plate or the downcomer receiving area of the tray are replaced with apertures which do not block the vertical momentum of the stream passing through the apertures. An enhanced vapor-liquid active area on the tray results from the use of the louvres.

摘要： A mass transfer or heat exchange column is provided with a vapor distributor having, in one embodiment, a deflecting surface which directs a vapor stream about the inner periphery of the column. Following discharge from the distributor, the vapor stream contacts circumferentially spaced guide vanes which redirect the vapor stream toward the center of the column to cause a more uniform distribution of the vapor stream across the horizontal cross section of the column.

摘要： A mass transfer or heat exchange column is provided with a vapor distributor which circulates a vapor stream about the inner periphery of the column. The vapor stream is discharged from the distributor through an at least partially open bottom and, optionally, a plurality of spaced apart outlet ports in an inner annular wall of the distributor. A deflector extends upwardly along the inner annular wall to deflect the vapor stream away from a circumferential flow path along the inward face of the wall. The deflector may also extend outwardly under the flow channel to deflect, in a radially inward direction, vapor exiting the flow channel through the open bottom of the distributor.

摘要： A vapor-liquid contact tray (16) is provided with an upstream downcomer (46) and a downstream downcomer (48) which form a two-stage downcomer. The discharge outlet (62) of the upstream downcomer (46) feeds liquid into the downstream downcomer (48) to help seal the discharge outlet (58) of the downstream downcomer (48) against vapor entry at lower liquid flow rates and to allow positioning of the discharge outlet (58) above the height of the weir (66) on the underlying tray (16). Because the upstream downcomer (46) does not discharge liquid directly onto the underlying tray deck (40), the area of the tray deck (40) underlying the upstream downcomer (46) can contain vapor flow apertures (68) to increase the active area and mass transfer efficiency of the tray (16).

摘要： A reaction with distillation column is provided with a plurality of discrete catalytic reaction containers. The containers contain a plurality of solid catalyst particles which form a catalytic reaction zone. The containers also include a liquid collection tray cover which defines a liquid accumulation zone immediately overlying the catalytic reaction zone. Overflow weirs are provided on the tray cover to allow for overflow of liquid on the tray cover. A member may be provided within the containers to create an open area within the catalytic reaction zone to facilitate entry of the liquid into the catalytic reaction zone. The containers can be individually positioned within the reactor to suit particular process requirements.

摘要： A column having a region for reaction with distillation of fluid streams is provided with structures which include distillation trays that allow for the accumulation of liquid from a liquid stream and the passage of a vapor stream through the liquid for interaction therewith. The structures include catalyst beds which extend downwardly from the trays and are housed within at least partially perforate containers. A portion of the liquid on the tray is catalytically reacted as it is driven through the catalyst bed by the liquid head created by the accumulated liquid. Another portion of the liquid may be directed through a bypass which also extends downwardly from the tray and allows the liquid to bypass the catalyst bed so that higher volumetric flow rates can be achieved. A still further portion of the liquid can be directed to a zone between adjacent catalyst beds or within a catalyst bed for developing a liquid head to force the liquid laterally through the catalyst bed.
