Embodiment Construction

[0019] refer to figure 1 , the bulk material loading device 1 is arranged for transferring particulate catalyst material from a vessel within the reactor to a bulk material container for conveying the particulate catalyst material out of the reactor and / or for storage. The loading device comprises an intermediate hopper 2, also called interceptor hopper, which receives the catalyst material in the vessel of the reactor and transfers the catalyst material further to a bulk material container. The bulk catalyst material is drawn out of the vessel of the reactor using a vacuum and is entrained in the gas flow under the action of the vacuum and transferred to the interception funnel 2 .

[0020] The interception funnel 2 comprises a vessel body 4 of typical funnel configuration with a cylindrical upper part 6 and a conical lower part 8 tapering towards an opening 10 at its base end. The interception funnel 2 is supported by a sub-frame (not shown) that holds the funnel in a raise...

Abstract

An intermediate bulk storage container (1) for the storage or transport of particulate catalyst material comprises a vessel (2) having an inner wall defining a containment volume for particulate catalyst material. The vessel (20) comprises a cylindrical wall section (22), a top panel (28) closing the upper end of the cylindrical wall section (22) and a conical base section (24) connected to and tapering inwardly away from the lower end of the cylindrical wall section (22). An opening (30) is provided in the top panel (28) of the container (20) for receiving the catalyst material and a closure member (32) is provided for closing the opening (30). An air tight seal is provided when the opening (30) is closed by the closure member (32). A gas duct (38) is in fluid connection with the vessel (20) for supplying an inert gas to the sealed container (20) or removing gas from the vessel (20) to place the container (20) under a vacuum to mitigate the risk of combustion. The gas duct is closed by a valve (40) for transit or storage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to bulk storage containers for storing and conveying bulk materials, and more particularly to bulk material storage containers for storing particulate catalyst material. Background technique [0002] Large-scale chemical processing plants use catalyst materials to improve reaction efficiency and increase throughput. Catalyst materials, usually in the form of catalyst pellets, have a limited processing life and eventually need to be reprocessed or replaced. Therefore, there is a need for vessels for transferring catalyst material to the reactor and for storing and transporting catalyst material during its removal or replacement. Containers commonly used for this purpose are known as Intermediate Bulk Containers or IBCs. [0003] An IBC typically consists of a rigid metal container that is square in cross-section and has an inlet at the top of the container for filling the container. To fill the IBC, a gravity-fed chute o...
