Abstract:
An improved nozzle device for a down-flow hydroprocessing reactor is disclosed. The down-flow nozzle is useful in the petroleum and chemical processing industries in catalytic reactions of hydrocarbon feedstocks in the presence of hydrogen, at an elevated temperature and pressure, to provide for the mixing and distribution of gas and liquid to reactor catalyst beds. Typical hydroprocessing applications include hydrotreating, hydrofinishing, hydrocracking and hydrodewaxing.

Claim (Index 24):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein one or more liquid inlets are configured to produce a tangential flow of liquid around the interior of the liquid inlet zone and to thereby provide a liquid phase spiral flow.
