Abstract: The present invention provides a particle packing apparatus which can pack uniformly particles of catalyst, etc. without breaking the particles. The particle packing apparatus for packing particles into a vessel, comprises: a base held at a fixed position with respect to the vessel; a distributor which is rotational symmetrical to a central axis extended vertically and distributes the particles; a bearing fixed to the base and holding the distributor rotatably; a particle supplying unit fixed to the base, being rotational symmetrical to the central axis, having a bottom opening being smaller than an inner diameter of the bearing and supplying the particles to the distributor through the bottom opening; and a motor rotating the distributor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of unloading a catalyst from a reactor wherein the reactor is filled with mixed liquid of condensed ring aromatic hydrocarbon having a required number of ring members, i.e. preferably 2 to 4 ring members, and gas oil, to wet the catalyst so as to form a coating of film on the catalyst before unloading the catalyst from the reactor.
Abstract: In a method of preventing deposition of sludge and of removing deposited sludge, liquid spray devices installed at predetermined positions in a tank are driven by a pressure of a liquid sprayed therefrom, the liquid sprayed from the spray devices is sprayed at a predetermined speed in the tank, and the flow of the liquid removes sludge deposited in the tank.
