A granular moving-bed apparatus is introduced to have an inlet louvered
wall, an outlet louvered wall opposing to the inlet louvered wall, a
granular path formed in between, a plurality of serial roof-shaped
flow-corrective elements located along the granular path, and a
predetermined type of granular materials flowing inside the granular
path. The inlet louvered wall and the outlet louvered wall are
particularly constructed to form serial hopper-shaped structures that
define the granular path. The roof-shaped flow-corrective element is
systematically displaced with respect to the hopper-shaped structure by
specific criteria so that problems of corrosions, plaques and stagnant
zones formed to the louvered walls of the apparatus can be avoided.
