ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for contacting fluids in a fluid-solids contacting chamber is disclosed. The fluid-solid contacting chamber has a plurality of beds, and the chamber comprises a plurality of conduits and outlet ports that are capable of providing improved fluid distribution of fluids that are introduced above or between the beds. One or more conduits are arranged within a single conduit, which provides a compact and inexpensive assembly for conveying the fluids to each conduit's outlet port. In operation, the fluid flow to the outlet port of each conduit is regulated within that outlet port's most efficient operating range, and since the flows can regulated simply by hand, the method of this invention can be practiced readily. Catalytic condensation and other hydrocarbon process units that employ this invention will have increased on-stream efficiencies and realize significant economic benefits.
