ABSTRACT:
A mixing chamber for a multi-bed, down-flow catalytic reactor includes two top openings through which liquid and/or gaseous reactant streams pass into the mixing chamber. Inside the mixing chamber, the two reactant streams collide with each other to achieve mixing. The mixing is particularly enhanced by chevron flow dividers positioned in two rows in a staggered arrangement and located in a central mixing zone. The chevrons improve mixing by increasing turbulence in the colliding reactant streams. The fully mixed reactant streams exit the mixing chamber through side openings to a distributor plate which distributes the reactant stream across the catalyst.
