Improved contacting between plural distinct fluid phases contained in a vertically disposed vessel.

摘要

A method for improving the contacting of plural, distinct phases in a vertically disposed vessel (10) containing distinct fluid phases involves injecting a stream of dispersed distinct phases together into the phases contained in the vessel at a sufficient velocity to force the fluid in the vessel to circulate downwardly through a central region (15) in the vessel and upwardly in the annular region surrounding the central region.
