    Patent number: 5124133
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a uniform flow profile for a liquid through a packed bed in a large diameter, low-pressure vessel. The liquid is distributed evenly across the top surface of the packed bed and directed through discrete flow regions through the packed bed. The flow regions are defined by flow straighteners which inhibit lateral flow of the liquid beyond the flow regions. The vessel includes a collector for removing the liquid after it has passed through the vessel.
