Abstract
A countercurrent continuous catalytic reactor system for treating a liquid phase, such as oil, with a gaseous reactant. An enclosed reactor shell contains a fixed porous bed of solid catalyst, upper liquid inlet device for introducing a stream of liquid substantially above the catalyst bed for downward gravity flow through the bed, and lower liquid outlet device for withdrawing treated liquid from the reactor shell. A gaseous reactant is dispersed through the liquid phase in intimate contact with the solid catalyst, and withdrawn above the catalyst bed. Level detector apparatus is disposed in a froth zone above the catalyst bed for detecting level of a mixed gas-liquid froth. Fluid handling control apparatus responsive to a level signal controls fluid stream flow for regulating froth level above the catalyst bed.
