Quench system for fluid solid reactions

Claim 1

AN APPARATUS FOR THE CHARACTER DESCRIBED INCLUDING IN COMBINATION A VESSEL PROVIDED AT ONE END WITH A REACTOR FOR CONTACTING HYDROCARBONS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE, FINELY-DIVIDED SOLIDS, A CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT ND A CENTRAL GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT, SAID REACTOR AND CONDUITS BEING IN VERTICAL ALINEMENT FOR THE SUBSTANTIALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW OF GASEOUS HYDROCARBONS THROUGH SAID VESSEL, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING A QUENCHING MEDIUM INTO SAID GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT, AN ANNULAR PARTION EXTENDING ACROSS AN INTERMEDIATE PORTION OF SAID VESSEL, SAD GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT EXTENDING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PORTION OF SAID ANNULAR PARTITION, SAID GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT EXTEDING THROUGH THE END OF SAID VESSEL OPPOSITE SAID REACTOR, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING A UNIDIRECTIONAL AND RAPIDLY FLOWING STREAM OF CONTACT SOLIDS INTO SAID REACTOR, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING HYDROCARBONS INTO SAID STREAM IN SAID REACTOR, A FIXED VANED SEPARATOR AT THE OUTLET END OF SAID REACTOR FOR IMPARTING RAPID CIRCULAR MOTION TO SAID STREAM LEAVING SAID REACTOR TO SEPARATE CONTACT SOLIDS FROM GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS BY THROWING SAID SEPARATED CONTACT SOLIDS TOWARD THE INNER WALL OF SAID VESSEL AND BEYOND THE CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT AND BEING COLLECTED ON SAID ANNULAR PARTITION, SAID CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT BEING ADPATED TO REMOVE THE SUBSTANTIALLY SOLIDS-FREE GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS AS THEY FLOW SUBSTANTIALLY UNIDIRECTIONALLY THROUGH SAID VESSEL, A SECOND FIXED VANE SEPARATION ARRANGED AT THE OUTLET END OF SAID CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT AND DOWNSTREAM FROM SAID REACTOR TO IMPART ROTATIONAL MOTION TO GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS PASSING THERETHROUGH SUFFICIENT TO SEPARATE LIQUID FROM SAID CONVERSION PRODUCTS BY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE BY THROWING THE LIQUID OUTWARDLY TOWARD THE INNER WALL OF SAID VESSEL WHILE PERMITTING SUBSTANTIALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW OF SAID GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS THROUGH SAID GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT AND COLLECTING THE SEPARATED LIQUID IN SAID VESSEL IN THE AREA AROUND SAID GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT, AND MEANS FOR WITHDRAWING LIQUID FROM SAID LIQUID COLLECTION AREA.

Claim 2

AN APPARATUS FOR THE CHARACTER DESCRIBED INCLUDING IN COMBINATION A VESSEL PROVIDED AT ONE END WITH A REACTOR FOR CONTACTING HYDROCARBONS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE, FINELY-DIVIDED SOLIDS, A CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT ND A CENTRAL GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT, SAID REACTOR AND CONDUITS BEING IN VERTICAL ALINEMENT FOR THE SUBSTANTIALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW OF GASEOUS HYDROCARBONS THROUGH SAID VESSEL, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING A QUENCHING MEDIUM INTO SAID GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT, AN ANNULAR PARTION EXTENDING ACROSS AN INTERMEDIATE PORTION OF SAID VESSEL, SAD GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT EXTENDING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PORTION OF SAID ANNULAR PARTITION, SAID GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT EXTEDING THROUGH THE END OF SAID VESSEL OPPOSITE SAID REACTOR, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING A UNIDIRECTIONAL AND RAPIDLY FLOWING STREAM OF CONTACT SOLIDS INTO SAID REACTOR, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING HYDROCARBONS INTO SAID STREAM IN SAID REACTOR, A FIXED VANED SEPARATOR AT THE OUTLET END OF SAID REACTOR FOR IMPARTING RAPID CIRCULAR MOTION TO SAID STREAM LEAVING SAID REACTOR TO SEPARATE CONTACT SOLIDS FROM GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS BY THROWING SAID SEPARATED CONTACT SOLIDS TOWARD THE INNER WALL OF SAID VESSEL AND BEYOND THE CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT AND BEING COLLECTED ON SAID ANNULAR PARTITION, SAID CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT BEING ADPATED TO REMOVE THE SUBSTANTIALLY SOLIDS-FREE GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS AS THEY FLOW SUBSTANTIALLY UNIDIRECTIONALLY THROUGH SAID VESSEL, A SECOND FIXED VANE SEPARATION ARRANGED AT THE OUTLET END OF SAID CENTRAL GAS QUENCHING CONDUIT AND DOWNSTREAM FROM SAID REACTOR TO IMPART ROTATIONAL MOTION TO GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS PASSING THERETHROUGH SUFFICIENT TO SEPARATE LIQUID FROM SAID CONVERSION PRODUCTS BY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE BY THROWING THE LIQUID OUTWARDLY TOWARD THE INNER WALL OF SAID VESSEL WHILE PERMITTING SUBSTANTIALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW OF SAID GASEOUS CONVERSION PRODUCTS THROUGH SAID GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT AND COLLECTING THE SEPARATED LIQUID IN SAID VESSEL IN THE AREA AROUND SAID GAS WITHDRAWAL CONDUIT, AND MEANS FOR WITHDRAWING LIQUID FROM SAID LIQUID COLLECTION AREA.
