A device that is placed in a vessel for carrying out separate injection (1,6) of two fluids in two different physical states, or which are not miscible, and for homogeneous distribution of at least one of the two fluids in the vessel downstream of said device. The first fluid is injected (6) into the vessel at least one point level with said device, said device being characterized in that it contains a chamber (5) pierced by orifices (7, 8) for the passage of a first fluid. Said chamber (5) is also imperviously traversed by tubes (4) or conduits with a free end acting as a passage through said chamber for the second fluid.
Claims14
Apparatus comprising a vessel and an injection device having a top and bottom inside said vessel for carrying out separate injection of first and second fluids which are in two different physical states or which are not miscible, and for homogeneous distribution in the vessel of at least one of the fluids downstream of said device, said device comprising a chamber (5) which is supplied by the first fluid, and which chamber comprises orifices (7, 8) on the bottom of the device for the passage of the first fluid, said device further comprising elongated conduits extending downwardly through said chamber, said conduits being imperforate within said chamber and having free ends at the bottom of the device outside said chamber acting as a passage for the second fluid through said chamber, said apparatus further comprising means for introducing the first fluid into the chamber.
