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 1):
A method of improving flow distribution of one or more streams in a process vessel comprising:\n passing the one or more streams through an upstream processing zone and a downstream processing zone within the process vessel, the upstream processing zone and downstream processing zone each containing one or more beds of processing materials; passing the one or more streams through a redistribution treating zone located between the upstream processing zone and downstream processing zone, wherein the redistribution treating zone comprises a single layer of a fixed, form-fit fibrous mesh material conforming to the interior dimensions of the process vessel; and laterally dispersing the one or streams with the fibrous mesh material to provide improved contact between the one or more streams and the processing materials in the downstream processing zone.
