DISTRIBUTOR PLATE FOR A GAS/LIQUID MIXTURE EQUIPPED WITH DISTRIBUTOR ELEMENTS LARGELY INSENSITIVE TO THE LACK OF HORIZONTALITY

摘要

The present invention describes a distributor plate equipped with distributor elements that are largely insensitive to the lack of horizontality a distributor element consisting of two substantially coaxial cylinders referred to as internal cylinder (1) and external cylinder the internal horizontal surface (5) separating the two cylinders being closed. The distributor plate is suitable for co current downflows of gas and of liquid more particularly in the regime referred to as trickling. The invention also relates to the application of the distributor plate to processes for the hydrotreatment or hydrogenation of various petroleum cuts.
