Abstract:
1. An apparatus for delivering fluid to a distillation column or reactor consisting essentially of: a channel head located at the discharge end of a thermosiphon reboiler, the channel head containing an inner volume and being capable of receiving a first fluid from a thermosiphon reboiler and a second fluid from a second fluid source, and being capable of connecting to a return nozzle in the distillation column or reactor and supplying a fluid mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid to a distillation column or reactor via the return nozzle to the distillation column or reactor; wherein the channel head comprises an eductor integrated within the channel head capable of receiving the second fluid from the second fluid source and introducing the second fluid to the inner volume at a pressure higher than the pressure of the first fluid such that the first fluid can be aspirated into the inner volume and mixed with the second fluid to form the fluid mixture.
