Abstract
A knockout pot for separating pyrolysis oil and heavy hydrocarbon constituents from gaseous constituents in the vapor discharge from a flash pyrolysis process. The knockout pot includes a closed vessel having an inlet pipe extending vertically through the top of the vessel to the interior, the pipe having a plurality of discharge holes in the lower end of the inlet pipe. A quench liquid input is connected tangentially to the inlet pipe on the outside of the vessel, imparting a swirling motion to the quenching liquid. The quench liquid is withdrawn from the vessel and recirculated.
