Catalytic hydrogenation process and apparatus with improved vapor liquid separation

摘要: A continuous hydrogenation process and apparatus wherein liquids are contacted with hydrogen in an ebullated catalyst reaction zone the gas flowing vertically upwardly through that into a second substantially free of particles liquid gases directed against inclining surface which vertical conduits placed having inlet ends at different levels outlet above inclined surface, such vapor-rich is collected discharged terminating higher level than vapor-poor lower surface.
