MIXING DEVICE FOR A REACTOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a mixing device mounted between two catalyst beds in a multi-bed catalytic reactor with a cylindrical shape, said mixing device has a circular outer rim which corresponds to the inner wall of the reactor, the mixing device comprises; collecting means disposed in a collecting section for collecting fluid from an upstream catalytic bed, mixing means disposed in a mixing section for mixing the collected fluid, and discharging means disposed in a discharging section for discharging the mixed fluid to a down-stream catalytic bed; wherein the collecting section, the mixing section and the discharging section are disposed outside the centre of the circular cross-section of the reactor, as well as associated methods for mixing and the use of such a mixing device in catalytic reactors.
