REGENERATOR FLOW DISTRIBUTION DEVICE

摘要

REGENERATOR FLOW DISTRIBUTION DEVICE A device for controlling the flow distribution through a regeneration vessel of a mixture of a carbonaceous adsorbent material and an inert material in an adsorbent material regeneration process in which a lower, conical section is supported by a hopper portion of the vessel, and an upper, conical section extends within the vessel. A plurality of angularly spaced flow passages extend longitudinally through the device, from the upper surface of the upper section to an interior chamber of the device disposed within the hopper, which is in fluid communication with the discharge of the vessel. The longitudinal axis of each passage is inclined at an angle of between 55.degree.-90.degree. relative to a base plane of the device, with 70.degree. being a preferred value.
