    摘要: A novel cyclone is disclosed that is effective for separating, from a contaminated gas stream, solid particulates having diameters as low as 4-5 microns. When multiple cyclones of the present invention are affixed between upper and lower tube sheets in a separator device, fine particle removal is possible to the extent required 1) by stringent regulations governing particulate emissions into the atmosphere, or 2) to prevent damage to turbine blades in downstream power recovery equipment. The cyclones are especially relevant to the problem of removing catalyst fines from refinery effluents, most notably fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator flue gas. The cyclone separation efficiency is enhanced through the use of 1) a uni-directional flow of gas from the contaminated gas inlet to the clean gas outlet and 2) discharge openings on the surface of the cyclone body that allow ejection of solid particulates.

    摘要: A third stage separator vessel includes a diffuser to promote uniform flow among an array of separation cyclones in the vessel. The vessel has an inlet to receive a gas stream containing solid particles, and the diffuser is mounted at the inlet so that at least some of the stream passes through the diffuser. In an embodiment, a gap between the diffuser and the inlet causes some of the gas stream to flow over an outer surface of the diffuser. The diffuser preferably includes a perforated plate mounted across a wide end of a frustoconical portion. The plate has a plurality of openings through which the flow passes. The openings in the plate have various sizes and positions to direct a greater amount of flow through radially outward portions of the plate than from a central portion of the plate.

    摘要: Apparatus and process for increasing mixing in a fluidized bed. A slide, which may be in the form of a tube or trough, transports particles from an upper zone downward to a lower zone at a different horizontal position, thereby changing the horizontal position of the particle and creating lateral mixing in the fluidized bed. Increased mixing may improve efficiency for an apparatus using a fluidized bed. For example, increased lateral mixing in a regenerator may increase temperature and oxygen mixing and reduce stagnation to improve efficiency. A slide may be relatively unobtrusive, inexpensive, and simple for a retrofit or design modification and may improve combustion efficiency at high rates by enhancing the lateral blending of spent and regenerated catalyst.

    摘要: A separation process for improved separation of liquids containing finely divided suspended particles using multiple stacks of parallel angled interceptor plates which divide the separation vessel to provide an annular space between the parallel angled interceptor plates and the vertical wall of the separation vessel to thereby form an inlet manifold for the plates which manifold provides a uniform, uninterrupted flow to each stack of plates. The arrangement of plates also forms an outlet manifold which provides a uniform flow from each stack of plates and directs the liquid stream having a reduced level of finely divided suspended particles downward in the separation vessel to an exit in the lower end of the vessel. The feed liquid is introduced into the lower end of the separation vessel with an inlet distributor which initially directs at least a major portion of the feed liquid in a generally downward direction to effect a primary separation prior to being introduced into the stacks of parallel angled interceptor plates. The introduction of the feed liquid and the exit of the separated product streams from the lower end of the separation vessel balance the velocity heads on either side of the stacks of the parallel angled interceptor plates and eliminates horizontal surfaces which would accumulate solids.

    摘要: An FCC feed distributor mixes fresh catalyst entering the riser with steam to create a dense bubbling bed of catalyst. Fluidized catalyst rises from the dense bed around a conical section supported from the bottom of the riser. The conical section accelerates the catalyst by reducing the flow area into a small width annulus. As fast fluidized catalyst flows to the annulus, a ring of small diameter nozzles shoot feed across the narrow annular gap into the moving catalyst. The narrow gap provides good penetration of the catalyst stream to completely mix the catalyst and feed. A gently tapered conical section above the annular gap provides an extended region of gradually increasing flow area that controls downstream acceleration of the gas and catalyst mixture by permitting expansion and preventing back mixing over the initial stages of the cracking reaction. This arrangement improves the uniformity of gas and catalyst contacting while reducing the amount of steam or other dispersion gas required to achieve good catalyst and feed contact.
