PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING FLOW IN A MULTIPHASE REACTOR

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for controlling the hydrodynamics within a gas agitated multiphase reactor at a given gas linear velocity. The embodiments of the present invention involve novel configurations of the multiphase reactor internal structures. In general, the configurations comprise a plurality of discrete reaction flow zones created by arranging the internal structures of a multiphase reactor.
