Abstract
A support assembly for the air distributor in the catalyst regenerator vessel of a fluid catalytic cracking apparatus is revealed. The support assembly comprises a primary support which fixedly connects the air distributor to the catalyst regenerator and a plurality of secondary rigid supports. The secondary rigid supports connect to both the air distributor and catalyst regenerator vessel with ball and socket joints. The support assembly allows for unrestricted multi directional thermal expansion of the air distributor without causing twisting or warping.
