Abstract:
A chemical reactor (e.g. reformer reactor) system includes a manifold (126) for management of a flow of gaseous reaction medium thereto. Manifold (126) includes manifold housing (128) defining manifold chamber (129) and having at least one additional component selected from: a gas distributor (127); a heater; and a cavity having a seal within or adjacent to it.
Abstract:
A catalytic reactor comprises a particle separator which extracts particles from the fluid flow stream above the reactor internals by means which makes the fluid flow stream perform a radial outwards and upwards S-curve flow path, which enables the particles to be extracted and settle in a collection section with low flow activity and turbulence.
Abstract:
The present invention is capable of precisely controlling a supply ratio of liquid and continuously supplying liquid at a constant rate by using partition plates for controlling the amount of liquid distribution.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a weir quench, an apparatus utilizing the weir quench and processes incorporating the same. The weir quench incorporates an inlet having an inner diameter (Di) and an upper chamber having an inner diameter (Duc), wherein the inlet inner diameter (Di) is at least 90% of the upper chamber inner diameter (Duc). The apparatus constitutes a reactor having an outlet with an inner diameter fluidly coupled with the weir quench inlet, wherein the ratio of the reactor oulet inner diameter (Dr) to the weir quench inlet diameter (Di) is greater than one. The weir quench, and apparatus are advantageously utilized in processes utilizing a limiting reagent.
Abstract:
A gas distribution apparatus (80), comprising: a distribution manifold (82) in fluid communication with a gas source and a plurality of injection nozzles (60) such injection nozzles (60) comprising a tube (62) with a fluid inlet (64), a fluid outlet (66), an inner diameter and an axial length; wherein the fluid inlet (64) of at least one of the plurality of injection nozzles (60) is disposed within the distribution manifold (82) and a fluid outlet; wherein the inlet (64) of the at least one of the injection nozzles (60) comprises an annular orifice (68) surrounding a flow restriction device (70, 70C, 70F); and wherein the fluid outlet (66) is external to an outer circumference (89) of the distribution manifold (82).
Abstract:
A process for preparing acetylene and synthesis gas by partial oxidation of hydrocarbons with oxygen, by first separately preheating the hydrocarbon gas and oxygen gas, and then reacting the gases and cooling the products rapidly. The reactor wall is blanketed with a purge gas stream, introduced through a plurality of feed lines. These feed lines deliver purge gas in a vector direction within a 10° angle of the main flow direction of the reactive gas stream. The purge gas is delivered at multiple stages relative to the main flow direction of the reactive gas stream, and the free cross section of the firing space available to the reactive gas stream, at the height of the feed lines of the purge gas stream, is approximately constant.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for continuously reacting liquid alkylene oxide with a liquid substance including an organic compound with active hydrogen atoms and a catalyst in a reactor.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a process for the conversion of organic material to methane rich gas. In particular, the process comprises heating vaporized organic material in the presence of an excess amount of hydrogen gas and superheated steam to produce a methane rich fuel gas at pressures greater than 0 atmospheres gauge up to about 2 atmosphere gauge.
