Reactor and horizontal cyclone separator with primary mass flow and secondary centrifugal separation of solid and fluid phases
A reactor and separator apparatus for the separation of solid and fluid phases comprises: (a) a horizontal elongated vessel having a diameter, a horizontal body comprising an imperforate top, a first imperforate side wall, a bottom having a center line and a second perforate side wall for penetration of a fluid phase outlet withdrawal conduit; (b) an elongated tubular reactor having a cross section diameter and interconnecting a portion of the bottom of the vessel at a position adjacent the second perforate side wall and off center from the center line of the bottom defining and off-center ingress as defined by a vertical plane through the diameter of the horizontal body for passage of an admixture of a solid phase admixed with a fluid phase into the horizontal elongated vessel; (c) a downcomer elongated relatively vertical conduit, (d) a fluid phase outlet withdrawal conduit; (e) an inclined slot solid dropout means; (f) a structure support means in the inclined slot solid dropout means for support of the inclined slot solid dropout means; and (g) wherein the fluid phase withdrawal conduit, the horizontal elongated vessel and the tubular reactor are constructed to insure that the diameter of the fluid phase withdrawal conduit is smaller than the diameter of the horizontal elongated vessel.
