Problems solved by technology

However, problems arise when the incoming stream is a multiphase fluid or slurry, as the solids are divided into layers under the force of gravity, which results in a disproportionate loading of solids to each of the multiple outlets , thereby reducing the efficiency of the processing unit modules in the cluster and increasing the wear of the inner wall of the fluid distributor
Inlet flow can be pulsed, which results in uneven flow at each outlet, which can lead to loss of efficiency in process unit modules receiving multiphase fluids or slurries

Abstract

A flow distribution system for a multi-phase fluid stream is described. The system comprises: an inlet for receiving a multi-phase fluid stream from an inlet pipe; a plurality of outlets each for delivering a portion of the multi-phase fluid stream to a respective outlet pipe; and, a hollow housing forming an inner chamber in fluid communication with the inlet and the plurality of outlets, the housing having a central longitudinal axis. The inner chamber has a first chamber portion adjacent to the inlet and a second chamber portion adjacent to the plurality of outlets, and the first chamber portion has a cross- sectional area that is less than the cross-sectional area of the second chamber portion. A non-planar flow diverter is positioned within the chamber so as to define a flow channel of varying cross-sectional area as measured in a plane orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis of the housing, for varying the flow rate of the multi-phase fluid stream as it passes through the flow channel whereby turbulent mixing of the multi-phase fluid stream in the inner chamber is encouraged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fluid distributors for distributing multiphase fluids or slurries from an inlet pipe to a plurality of outlet pipes. Background technique [0002] In mining, energy, chemical and related industries, it is common to deal with multiphase fluid streams or slurries. Multiphase fluid streams or slurries are often conveniently and / or efficiently processed using a plurality of processing unit modules arranged in clusters. The number of processing unit modules arranged in a cluster ranges from two to as many as thirty units, or possibly more. Such a processing unit module may comprise, for example, a separator for separating solid matter from gaseous matter or for separating solid particles of different sizes or different densities from liquid matter. [0003] It is known in the art to use conventional fluid distributors having an inlet arranged to receive an inlet stream of fluid from a common conduit and a plurality of outl...
