    摘要: A process for hydroprocessing a renewable feedstock in a fixed-bed reactor system having at least one catalytic bed involves directing a downward flow of the renewable feedstock to a filtering zone having top-open interstitial portions to receive the downward flow and top-covered annular portions that are in fluid communication with a headspace between the filtering zone and a catalytic zone. The feedstock flows from the interstitial portions to the annular portions through a filtering material disposed between the interstitial portions and the annular portions, resulting in a filtered feedstock, which then flows to the catalytic zone. In the catalytic zone, filtered feedstock is reacted under hydroprocessing conditions sufficient to cause a reaction selected from the group consisting of hydrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodesulphurization, hydrodemetalation, hydrocracking, hydroisomerization, and combinations thereof.

    摘要: A quench mixing device (100, 200, 300) is disclosed for mixing multiphase process fluids in 5 the inter-bed region of a concurrent downflow reactor (10) for obtaining homogeneity of the temperature and chemical composition of the mixed stream. The quench mixing device comprises of outer mixing zone (109), inner mixing zone (120), swirl mixing zone (151) and exit zone. Due to the position of the disperser (142), the liquid coming from above is dispersed in droplets. The fluid impact on the other side of the outer mixing zone. The gas is bubbled into 0 liquid in the inner mixing zone. The fluids enter the swirl mixing zone via two-phase duct (131) which is shaped to have low pressure loss and high velocity at the outlet to induce dispersed regime. The outlet of the two-phase duct is placed such that liquid is injected into the swirl zone below liquid surface, causing increased momentum for inducing liquid swirl in the swirl zone and increased number of rotations.
