APPARATUS FOR RETAINING SOLID MATERIAL IN A RADIAL FLOW REACTOR AND METHOD OF MAKING

摘要

An apparatus for use in radial flow reactors is presented. The apparatus includes a first partition and a second partition with support members coupled therebetween. The first partition includes a first opening and a second opening to allow the passage of fluid therethrough. A baffle extends into a flow channel formed by adjacent support members to obstruct an upper or lower portion of the first opening to interrupt a portion of the fluid flow therethrough.
