The wedge wire center pipe is a specialized internal component for effective flow distribution and collection within reactors.
The center pipe features a unique wedge wire design that provides superior filtration and support while maintaining structural integrity under high-pressure conditions. The V-shaped wire structure ensures uniform flow throughout the reactor's internal structure.
Wedge wire center pipes are commonly used in reactors that require optimized fluid flow and efficient gas-liquid or liquid-solid interactions, such as chemical reactors, fluidized bed reactors, gas-liquid reactors, and catalytic reactors.
Details for Wedge Wire Flow Reactor Internal Center Pipe
| Installation | The center pipe is generally mounted inside vertical reactors (flow reactors). Typically installed through a manhole at the top of the vessel and supported on a holder that maintains its position. |
| Purpose | To collect or distribute flow |
| Operation | The center pipe is positioned on the high temperature or high concentration side since the vessel shell experiences less stress when the high temperature and high concentration are central. |
| Flow Direction | Inward or outward |
| Application Industry | Refinery and petrochemical industry |
| Application Ranges | Catalytic reforming, styrene production, synthetic ammonia synthesis, and propane dehydrogenation |
