ABSTRACT:
A fluid (liquid or gas) distributing apparatus comprises a series of annular conduits positioned concentrically and close to a region for mixing or performing a reaction. Each annular conduit has a plurality of orifices associated therewith which are spaced circumferentially and symmetrically proximate to the region and each orifice is positioned to deliver a liquid stream to the region. A feed line connects with a plurality of branch lines, each branch line connecting with one of the annular conduits. Valves in the lines control the flow of liquid to the annular conduits. The conduits in the series are arranged for use in the method of the invention in a sequence, beginning with the conduit of greatest flow resistance when the feed rate is low and continuing successively with the conduits of lower flow resistance as the fixed rate increases. The resulting uniform flow rates through the orifices and avoidance of back flow contribute to high yield and quality of product.
