MULTIPHASE CONTACT AND DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS FOR HYDROPROCESSING
First Claim
1. A fluid distribution nozzle, comprising:
- (a) a substantially cylindrical nozzle body having a plurality of outer slots disposed circumferentially around the nozzle body;
(b) a cap affixed to a proximal portion of the nozzle body, the cap having an axial proximal opening therein;
(c) a base affixed to a distal portion of the nozzle body, the base having an axial distal opening therein; and
(d) a substantially cylindrical inner conduit disposed axially within a proximal portion of the nozzle body, the inner conduit disposed within the proximal opening of the cap, and the inner conduit extending proximally from the cap to define a proximal end of the inner conduit, the inner conduit having a plurality of inner slots disposed circumferentially around the proximal end of the inner conduit, and a distal end of the inner conduit terminating distally at a location proximal to a distal end of each of the outer slots.

Abstract
Systems and apparatus for mixing, cooling, and distributing multiphase fluid mixtures within a reactor, wherein reactor internal apparatus of the present invention provides not only improved fluid mixing and distribution to each underlying catalyst bed surface, but also offers other advantages including: decreased mixing tray height; easier maintenance, assembly and disassembly; and decreased amounts of fabrication material. In an embodiment, fluid may be evenly distributed to a catalyst bed from a fluid distribution unit comprising a nozzle tray including a plurality of nozzles, wherein the nozzles include at least one liquid inlet disposed tangentially to an inner surface of the nozzle.
