Publication number: 20040045610Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid distributor in the form of a channel distributor with drainage outlets. To ensure that the uniformity of distribution of the liquid is largely independent of disturbance factors, for example blockages of the drainage outlets, the drainage outlets are in the form of drainage pipes having a cross-section which tapers in the shape of a nozzle. The inner wall of the nozzle-like tapering of the drainage outlets being made of plastic, or another material resistant to the adherence of solids which would block the flow of liquid through the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2001Publication date: March 11, 2004Inventors: Franz-Josef Carduck, Theo Fleckenstein, Gerd Goebel, Roland Hourticolon

Patent number: 5324871Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the hydrogenation of native fats, oils and fat derivatives, such as fatty acids and fatty acid esters, to fatty alcohols in a fixed-bed reactor, more particularly in co-current, hydrogen being recirculated in a stoichiometric excess, more particularly in an excess of 10 to 100 fold, and the fat, oil or fat derivative passing through the reactor only once. To minimize the specific hydrogen demand without having to accept significant losses in regard to specific reactor load, product selectivity and catalyst life, the hydrogen is passed successively through at least two fixed-bed reactors 4,10 without the gas issuing from the reactors 4 and entering the following reactors 10 being cooled and the fat, oil or fat derivative is simultaneously introduced into the reactors 4,10.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1992Date of Patent: June 28, 1994Assignee: Henkel Kommanditgesellschaft auf AktienInventors: Franz-Josef Carduck, Gerd Goebel, Theo Fleckenstein, Udo Kreutzer, Guenther Demmering

Patent number: 5180858Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the catalytic hydrogenation of liquid saturated and unsaturated C.sub.6-24 fatty acid methyl esters for the production of saturated fatty alcohols and methanol in the presence of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogenation catalysts under pressures of 50 to 300 bar and at temperatures in the range from 160.degree. to 250.degree. C., characterized in that the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a tube bundle reactor in which isothermal conditions are established by a cooling or heating fluid, the liquid phase and gas phase being passed together as a co-current trickle phase over catalyst packings in the individual tubes of the reactor without any back-mixing, and in that the load per unit volume of the reaction is between 0.2 and 2.5 liters starting material per liter reactor volume per hour and the load per unit area of each individual tube of the reactor is between 1.5 and 24 m.sup.3 starting material per m.sub.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1991Date of Patent: January 19, 1993Assignee: Henkel Kommanditgesellschaft auf AktienInventors: Theo Fleckenstein, Gerd Goebel, Franz-Josef Carduck, Guenther Demmering, Hans-Peter Kubersky

Patent number: 4954664Abstract: A process for the catalytic hydrogenation of butterfat where non-deacidified butterfat is continuously reacted with hydrogen under pressures of from 20 to 300 bar and at temperatures of from 180.degree. to 250.degree. C. with molar ratios of hydrogen to fatty acid residue in the butterfat of from 10:1 to 500:1.
