| 422218000 | Fixed annularly shaped bed of contact material and means directing reactant therethrough substantially perpendicular to longitudinal axis of bed | 7 |
| 20080274024 | Louver Front Faced Inlet Ducts - An apparatus is for directing a fluid into a radial reactor is and which maintains a bed of solid particulate material within a reactor. The apparatus comprises a duct for directing fluid into a reactor and has a screenless face for the egress of the fluid, while providing for the retention of solid particles. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090130002 | Screenless Reactor for Granular Moving Bed - A screenless reactor design is presented. The reactor includes a series of overlapping vanes where solid catalyst can cascade down the vanes. Gas flows across the catalyst by flowing through the vanes contacting the catalyst and then disengaging from contact with the solid catalyst particles. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100055008 | SCREENLESS INTERNALS FOR RADIAL FLOW REACTORS - An apparatus for contacting a bed of particulate material with a cross flowing fluid, which maintains the bed of particulate material within a retention volume. The apparatus includes partitions for retaining particles, with apertures disposed within the partitions. The apertures are covered by louvers that extend above the edges of the apertures to prevent solid particles from spilling through inlet apertures. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100135873 | HONEYCOMB REACTORS WITH HIGH ASPECT RATIO CHANNELS - Disclosed is a method of forming enclosed channels within a honeycomb including the steps of providing a honeycomb structure having cells divided by walls, the cells extending along a common direction from a first end to a second of the structure and removing selected walls of the honeycomb structure from one or both of the first and second ends of the structure, to a depth sufficient to reduce the original height of the selected walls by at least 50%. Also disclosed is a method of forming enclosed channels within a honeycomb structure includes removing selected walls of the honeycomb structure from one or both of the first and second ends of the structure, to a depth sufficient to completely removed the selected walls. Other methods and devices are also disclosed. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110206573 | RADIAL FLOW REACTOR - A radial flow reactor is disclosed for use in gas purification, separation or reaction processes and most suitably used in prepurification processes. The reactor has two concentric internal baskets which are rigidly supported at both the top and bottom ends of the reactor. The reactor has a removable section in the inner basket to accommodate rotating arms to dense load one or more layers of active materials between the concentric baskets. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20130058843 | MASS TRANSFER PACKING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A ceramic mass transfer packing element that includes a planar end surface which intersects an internal wall's geometric plane at an acute angle is disclosed. A process for making the packing element and an apparatus that uses the packing element are also disclosed. | 03-07-2013 |
| 20130343961 | Apparatus for Retaining Solid Material in a Radial Flow Reactor and Method of Making - An apparatus for use in radial flow reactors is presented. The apparatus includes a first partition and a second partition with support members coupled therebetween. The first partition include a first opening and a second opening to allow the passage of fluid therethrough. A baffle extends into a flow channel formed by adjacent support members to obstruct an upper or lower portion of the first opening to interrupt a portion of the fluid flow therethrough. | 12-26-2013 |
