ABSTRACT:
A process for transferring catalyst particles between multiple reactions zones simplifies the system for use of a single valve operation by passing a purge gas into a lower section of a reaction zone that discharges catalyst from the reaction zone into a lift vessel and uses the intermittent introduction of a lift gas stream to entrain catalyst particles in a dilute phase upward lift step to a succeeding reaction zone while simultaneously retarding the flow of catalyst particles down the discharge conduit and interrupting the flow of purge gas down the discharge conduit. In this manner a flow of purge gas can constantly enter the reaction zone supplying catalyst particles to the lift system thereby preventing any flow of reactants from the reactor into the lift system while only the addition of lift gas into the lift system needs to be cycled on and off to intermittently transfer the catalyst particles upwardly in dilute phase to the top of the next reaction zone. Therefore, the whole system can transfer catalyst particles indefinitely with the operation of only one valve that is not in catalyst service. As a result additional equipment such as disengagers, control valves and conduits for venting gas and interrupting catalyst flow is eliminated.
