Catalyst Method And Apparatus For An On-Stream Particle Replacement System For Countercurrent Contact Of A Gas And Liquid Feed Stream With A Packed Bed

View page
US Patent:
55994407, Feb 4, 1997
Filed:
Jun 30, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/497638
Inventors:
Bruce E. Stangeland - Berkeley CA
David C. Kramer - San Anselmo CA
David S. Smith - Kingwood TX
James T. McCall - Colorado Springs CO
Georgieanna L. Scheuerman - Moraga CA
Robert W. Bachtel - El Cerrito CA
David R. Johnson - Petaluma CA
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
C10G 3514
US Classification:
208148
Abstract:
This invention makes possible substantially continuous flow of uniformly distributed hydrogen and hydrocarbon liquid across a densely packed catalyst bed to fill substantially the entire volume of a reactor vessel by introducing the fluids as alternate annular rings of gas and liquid (i. e. a mixture of liquid hydrocarbon and a hydrogen-containing gas) at a rate insufficient to levitate or ebullate the catalyst bed. Catalyst are selected by density, shape and size at a design feed rate of liquids and gas to prevent ebullation of the packed bed at the design feed rates. Catalysts are selected by measuring bed expansion, such as in a large pilot plant run, with hydrocarbon, hydrogen, and catalyst at the design pressures and flow velocities. The liquid and gas components of the feed flow into the bed in alternate annular rings across the full area of the bed. At the desired flow rate, such catalyst continually flows in a plug-like manner downwardly through the reactor vessel by introducing fresh catalyst at the top of the catalyst bed by laminarly flowing such catalyst in a liquid stream on a periodic or semicontinuous basis.

Apparatus For An On-Stream Particle Replacement System For Countercurrent Contact Of A Gas And Liquid Feed Stream With A Packed Bed

View page
US Patent:
53023579, Apr 12, 1994
Filed:
Feb 8, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/014847
Inventors:
David C. Kramer - San Anselmo CA
Bruce E. Stangeland - Berkeley CA
David S. Smith - Baton Rouge LA
James T. McCall - Baton Rouge LA
Georgieanna L. Scheuerman - Moraga CA
Robert W. Bachtel - El Cerrito CA
Assignee:
Chevron Research and Technology Co. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B01J 808
US Classification:
422219
Abstract:
On-stream catalyst replacement apparatus for countercurrent upstream flow of a gas and hydrocarbon liquid through a downward moving catalyst bed in a reactor vessel. A mixed feed stream of gas and liquid hydrocarbon components enters a reservoir formed between the lower end of the reactor and a conical screen supporting the lower end of a catalyst bed. A wall across the vessel divides the reservoir into a lower surge chamber for receiving the mixed feed and an upper plenum chamber for separating the components into alternate feed rings of gas and hydrocarbon liquid under the conical screen. The mixed feed enters the plenum chamber through a plurality of tubes extending downwardly from the wall to the same depth in the surge chamber that prevents establishing preferential paths for gas to independently enter the plenum chamber. Excessive separation of the gas and liquid components from the mixed feed in the plenum chamber is prevented by use of a plurality of concentric baffles abutting the underside of the conical screen and which are closely spaced apart only sufficient to create adjacent and alternate feed rings of gas and liquid. The depth of the lower end of each baffle is intermediate the depth of the two radially adjacent concentric baffles.

Distributor Assembly For Multi-Bed Down-Flow Catalytic Reactors

View page
US Patent:
56908962, Nov 25, 1997
Filed:
May 5, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/435564
Inventors:
Bruce E. Stangeland - Berkeley CA
Krishniah Parimi - Concord CA
Dennis R. Cash - Novato CA
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B01J 804
US Classification:
422191
Abstract:
A multi-bed, down-flow reactor includes several distributor assemblies, each having a centrally located mixing chamber and an annular collecting and mixing trough surrounding the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber has an inlet at one side thereof, an outlet in its bottom wall, and a quench gas inlet in its top wall above the outlet. A divider wall traverses the annular trough adjacent to the inlet to cause the pool of liquid collected in the trough to flow in a circular pattern around the mixing chamber to the inlet. This ensures that the liquid circulating through the trough is well mixed with the liquid raining down from the catalyst bed. Turbulent and spiraling flow patterns generated within the chamber further mix the liquid and gas and entrain quench gas in the liquid and gas stream.
