Gas solid contact riser with redistribution

摘要

An dilute phase transport riser for the contacting of particles with a gas uses redistributors along the length of the riser to prevent the formation of localized regions of high particle concentration along the wall of the riser. A series of redistributors extend transversely across the riser to redistribute the particles and the gas. The redistributor can comprise radially extended spokes or simple rectangular grates spaced at regular intervals along the length of the riser. The arrangement is particularly suited for FCC application where the catalyst tends to form pickets or streamers of catalyst that may slip backward along the length of a vertical riser.
