Disclosed is an apparatus for injecting a plurality of uniform jets into
an extended dispersion of moving catalyst particles within a reactor
vessel. The apparatus comprises a plurality of outer conduits each for
carrying contacting fluid and being fixed to a respective opening in a
first tube sheet. A plurality of outlet nozzles are each fixed to a
respective opening in a second tube sheet which is fixed to the first
tube sheet. Feed in the outer conduits are delivered to the outlet
nozzles for distribution into the vessel. All of the outlet nozzles can
be easily replaced by breaking the fixation between the two tube sheets
and securing a new second tube sheet with outlet nozzles to the first
tube sheet.
