Abstract:
A method for facilitating the distribution of the flow of one or more streams within a bed vessel is provided. Disposed within the bed vessel are internal materials and structures including multiple operating zones. One type of operating zone can be a processing zone composed of one or more beds of solid processing material. Another type of operating zone can be a treating zone. Treating zones can facilitate the distribution of the one or more streams fed to processing zones. The distribution can facilitate contact between the feed streams and the processing materials contained in the processing zones.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of loading a process vessel comprising:\n loading a downstream zone of processing materials into the process vessel; loading a zone of treating elements into the process vessel above the downstream zone of processing materials; and loading an upstream zone of processing materials into the process vessel above the zone of treating elements, wherein the upstream zone of processing materials is loaded such that it is adjacent to the zone of treating elements, and wherein there is no physical device disposed between the zone of processing materials and the zone of treating elements in the process vessel, and wherein at least some of the processing elements from the upstream zone are capable of migrating into, and commingling with, treating elements in a section of the zone of treating elements adjacent the upstream zone to form a combination zone having processing and treating functionality.
