Abstract
An installation for carrying out a continuous multi-stage industrial process includes a housing that defines a first space and a second space that is connected to the first through a first connecting channel. Different pressure conditions prevail in these spaces during the course of the process. A process material is passed sequentially through the first space, the first connecting channel and the second space. A transported material is provided in the first connecting channel to form a free-flowing sealing zone with the process material and ensures that different process conditions will be maintained in the two spaces, and in particular that different pressures will be maintained in the two spaces. The invention also relates to a multi-stage continuous industrial process using such an installation.
Claims15
An installation for carrying out a continuous multi-stage industrial
- process, the installation comprising;
- a first chamber defining a first space;
- a second chamber defining a first space;
- a first connecting channel connecting the first chamber and the second chamber and configured to allow passage of a process material from the first space, through the first connecting channel and into the second space, one after the other, in a process sequence;
- and
- a transported material is provided in the first connecting channel in or with which the process material can pass through the first connecting channel in a process sequence, and wherein the transported material together with the process material forms a trickling sealing zone in the connecting channel, which ensures that different pressures will be maintained in the two spaces.
