APPARATUS FOR DISENGAGING PARTICLES FROM GASES

摘要

An apparatus for conducting the fluidized catalystic cracking of hydrocarbons and the separation of catalyst particulates from the converted hydrocarbon products structually comprises a combination of a disengaging chamber and a cyclonic separator. In operation, the bulk of the entrained solids of a gas-solid fluid stream is alone discharged from a conduit(10) transporting the stream into the disengaging chamber(12) and collected therein whereas the gas phase containing only residual amounts of entrained solids is simultaneously diverted through cyclonic separators (19,28) to complete the removal of the solids from the gas stream.
