Abstract
A fluidized bed reactor operating under countercurrent gas-solid flow conditions wherein the reactor is supplied with horizontal baffles having separate passages through which the gas and the solid flow, such that the ascending gas leaves the baffle in a point higher than the point in which the descending solid leaves the same baffle, and the use of the reactor to perform reactions under countercurrent flow conditions while maintaining gas and solids flows of at least 70% of flooding conditions.
Claims17
A fluidized bed reactor which operates under countercurrent gas-solid flow conditions, comprising a vessel having arranged therein one or more levels of horizontal baffles, wherein each level of horizontal baffles has separate passages through which ascending gas and descending solid flow, such that the ascending gas leaves the baffles level at a first point higher than a second point in which the descending solid leaves the same baffles level.
