ABSTRACT:
A vapor/liquid separator and liquid distributor which is especially suitable for small catalytic hydrodewaxing reactors is disclosed. A mixed phase stream is discharged into a V/L separator above a vessel. A liquid level is maintained in the V/L separator using a liquid level controller. Preferably the liquid is filtered, then passed through a spray nozzle for distribution over a fixed bed of contact material in the vessel, e.g., catalyst. The vapor phase from the V/L separator is added to the top of the reactor. The process and apparatus is especially useful in catalytic hydrodewaxing.
