  • Patent number: 9427750
    Abstract: A device for distributing a fluid in a controlled manner, in particular for distributing a gas loaded with particles, the device comprising a pipe (1) provided with at least one inlet orifice (2) and with a series of outlet orifices (3) spread along the pipe (1) and cut in a side wall of this pipe, wherein at least one section (4) of the side wall, located downstream of at least one outlet orifice and limited by a section (5) of the edge of the outlet orifice (3), has a concave shape such that this section (5) of the edge of such outlet orifice (3) is positioned inside the pipe so that, when the device is in service, the flow direction of a fluid exiting such outlet orifice (3) and travelling along such deformed concave wall section (4) of the edge of this outlet orifice (3) is controlled by the shape of such section (5) of the edge.

  • Publication number: 20110239863
    Abstract: Stripping column and process for extracting a component from a liquid medium using a gas, the stripping column comprising a vertical column (10) comprising an essentially cylindrical wall (54), the vertical column (10) being divided by horizontal perforated plates (20) into a series of superposed chambers (11, 12, . . . , 16, 17), each chamber (11, 12, . . . , 16, 17) comprising several vertical partitions (34, 34I, 34II, 34III, 34IV, 34V) positioned so as to form chicanes, an upper chamber (17) comprising at least one liquid medium inlet port (28). According to one important aspect of the invention, the upper chamber (17) comprises a liquid medium receiving zone (90), the receiving zone (90) being configured so as to be able to carry out a degassing of the liquid medium in the receiving zone (90).

  • Patent number: 7691337
    Abstract: A container for thermal conditioning of a fluid under pressure, use of the container for thermally conditioning a fluid under pressure, a chemical reactor including the container and a polymerization process using the reactor, and a method of producing the container and the reactor. The container is bounded over at least part of its surface facing the outside by at least one external plate and facing the inside by at least one internal plate, the external plate being thicker than the internal plate, the external plate and the internal plate being joined together in places to define a space between joints for circulation of a heat-transfer fluid and the container including a mechanism to adjust the pressure of the heat-transfer fluid to that of the fluid under pressure.
