Fluidized Solids Distributor for FCC Regenerator

The distributor system is divided into multiple segments including a central conduit and multiple radial arms with distribution openings. This segmentation allows the spent catalyst to be distributed through multiple pathways simultaneously, achieving uniform distribution across the regenerator bed while maintaining a manageable system structure.

The distribution system transitions from a single-point side entry to a multi-dimensional radial distribution pattern. The central conduit extends vertically while radial arms extend horizontally in multiple directions, creating a three-dimensional distribution network that eliminates air grid interference and ensures uniform catalyst distribution throughout the regenerator.

The distributor is segmented into a central vertical conduit and multiple radial arms spaced at different angles. Each arm contains multiple distribution openings that discharge spent catalyst at specific locations. This segmentation transforms a single-point injection into a multi-point distribution system, achieving uniform catalyst distribution while keeping each individual component relatively simple.

Different sections of the distributor are designed with specific local characteristics. The central conduit handles bulk catalyst flow, while the radial arms distribute it radially outward. Each arm is positioned and oriented to deliver catalyst to specific zones within the regenerator, ensuring uniform distribution through localized optimization of each segment's function.
