Abstract
The invention relates to a method of distributing a liquid in the fluid bed of an up-flow or a down-flow fluid bed reactor. The invention provides efficient distribution and plug flow like fluid flow through the fluid bed where turbulence and/or back-mixing of the fluid are minimized. In accordance with the invention a fluid bed system for use in treating a fluid by contacting the fluid with a solid phase media is provided and the system includes a reactor chamber adapted to contain the solid phase media and at least one fluid distribution means adapted to distribute and/or deliver the fluid to be treated among the particles of the medium.
