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 19):
A vessel comprising:\n a vessel inlet; a first processing zone disposed downstream of the vessel inlet, the first processing zone containing one or more beds of processing materials; a bed zone disposed upstream of the first processing zone; a redistribution zone disposed downstream of the first processing zone, the redistribution zone containing a plurality of treating elements; a second processing zone disposed downstream of the redistribution zone, the second processing zone containing one or more beds of processing materials; and a vessel outlet disposed downstream of the second processing zone, wherein there is a permeable barrier above the redistribution zone that is capable of preventing migration of processing materials into the redistribution zone while allowing a process stream to pass into the redistribution zone.
