Claim:
1. A mixing system for use in a chemical-process column, the mixing system comprising: a heavy-reactant mixing surface arranged perpendicular to a flow of a reactant through the chemical-process column, the heavy-reactant mixing surface comprising a plurality of wedge-shaped regions around a central aperture; an upstanding baffle being disposed between each region of the plurality of wedge-shaped regions; a pre-distributor coupled beneath the heavy-reactant mixing surface, the pre-distributor comprising: a mixing pot fluidly coupled to the central aperture; a channel fluidly coupled to, contiguous with, and extending radially from, the mixing pot, the channel extending substantially to an edge of the heavy-reactant mixing surface, the channel integrally formed with and contiguous to an underside of the heavy-reactant mixing surface; and wherein heavy reactant is directed toward the central aperture.
