<p>A liquid distributor for downflow reactors and towers is disclosed. The invention employs a bent periphery pipe (2) beneath a tray (4) located within a vessel (6). A bed of solids (5) is located below the tray. Periphery pipes (2) distribute liquid to an area of the bed (5) which previously did not receive liquid from the distributor tray (4). The periphery pipe (2) may have a vapor outlet with an adjacent splash plate and a separate liquid outlet. The splash plate prevents liquid from splashing out of the vapor outlet onto the vessel wall (8). Liquid may be directed from the periphery pipe (2) to the bed of solids (5), particu-larly solid catalysts, therebelow and prevented from impacting the sidewalls of the vessel (8). A trough, attached to the tray, may be substituted for the periphery pipe (2).</p> |
