Patent ID: 6896401

Claim:
A process for mixing reactant streams containing a stream of a deficient component and a stream of an excess component comprising the following process steps: providing a mixing space ( 12 ) having an end face ( 9 ) and an inner wall ( 6 ) and an outer wall ( 7 ) defining an annular shape therebetween, injection the deficient component into the mixing space ( 12 ) as an annular shape such that the deficient component generates an outer suction region ( 3 ) and an inner suction region ( 4 ) within the mixing space ( 12 ), dividing the stream of the excess component into at least two reactant substreams, nonparallelly injecting the reactant substreams into the outer and the inner suction regions ( 3 , 4 ) generated by the deficient component for mixing the reactant substreams of the excess component and the deficient component in the mixing space.
