Abstract
A process and device for the treatment of fluid, such as flue gas. A moving bed reactor has several reaction chambers. The reaction chambers are located in parallel flow locations. A solid bulk material is located in the reaction chambers. The fluid flows through the reaction chambers in parallel, from bottom to top of each reaction chamber. As the fluid flows through the reaction chambers, the fluid interacts with the bulk material to alter the fluid. Specifically, the bulk material absorbs and/or acts as a catalyst to remove impurities from the fluid. Flow through each of the reaction chambers can be interrupted without interruption of flow through the other reaction chambers. Some of the bulk material in each reaction chamber can be removed, as a layer, from the bottom and a replacement amount can be added, as a layer to the top.
