AN ASSEMBLY FOR REDUCING SLURRY PRESSURE IN A SLURRY PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

An assembly (10) for reducing pressure of slurry exiting an outlet pipe (15) of a supercritical reactor (116), the assembly (10) including a sealed collection vessel (12) and an orifice assembly (14) forming an inlet of the collection vessel (12), wherein the orifice assembly (14) comprises a plurality of orifices (17 to 20) for parallel connection with the reactor outlet pipe (15) such that flow from the outlet pipe (15) can be directed to any one of the orifices (17 to 20).
