Abstract:
A contacting device and method are presented for the collection, contacting, and distribution of fluids between particulate beds of a downflow vessel, which may operate in co-current flow. By one approach, the contacting device includes a liquid collection tray, a mixing channel in fluid communication with the liquid collection tray, and a liquid distribution zone

Claim (Index 1):
A system for fluid contacting in a downflow vessel, comprising:\n a liquid collection tray positioned in a contacting space between two adjacent catalyst beds in a downflow reactor for collecting fluid traveling downward from an upper bed system; a mixing device having an inlet in communication with the liquid collection tray for contacting fluid; a top plate of the mixing device having an upper surface spaced from a bottom portion of a the upper bed system and configured to direct fluid from the upper bed system to at least one of the liquid collection tray and the mixing device; a quench fluid distributor positioned radially outwardly of the mixing device within walls of the downflow reactor having quench fluid outlets for distributing a quench fluid for contacting the fluid from the upper bed system.
