Downflow catalytic reactor having a plurality of catalyst beds in which a mixture of gas and liquid are passed, the region in between subsequent catalyst beds being provided with a distributor system for the distribution and mixing of gas and liquid prior to contact with a subsequent catalyst bed, said region comprising:

Distributor system for downflow reactors

Process for the removal of coloured compounds in a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising the steps of hydrotreating the feedstock in presence of a first hydrotreating catalyst under conditions being effective in hydrogenation of hydrogenable compounds being present in the feedstock and hydrotreating an effluent from the first hydrotreating step in a second catalytic hydrotreating step being carried out in a second hydrotreating reactor at hydrotreating conditions, wherein the effluent from the first hydrotreating step is separated into a gas phase and a mixed gas and liquid phase prior to the second hydrotreating step, and the mixed phase is hydrotreated in the second hydrotreating step without further addition of hydrogen.
