Reactor Center Pipes/Inner Screen

Center Pipes Introduction:

Center pipes, also known as radial flow screens or inner screens, form the core component of radial flow reactors, crafted with meticulous precision from Johnson screens. This crucial device serves as a central slotted screen within radial flow reactors, featuring an outer surface that intimately interacts with the catalyst layer. The triangular wire screen designed as a slit effectively holds the packing material while directing the flow towards the outlet. With options designed for both internal and external flow, the center pipe ensures optimal performance across a wide range of flow rates. Its installation on support elements above the outlet fitting ensures seamless integration within the reactor system.

Applications:

Center Pipes find essential utility across various industrial domains, including catalytic reforming, styrene production, synthetic ammonia synthesis, propane dehydrogenation, and numerous other process units where radial flow reactors are employed.

Features and Advantages:

• Optimized Flow Dynamics: The cylindrical shape of the center pipe, combined with its axial wedge wire screen and inner sleeve structure, ensures efficient flow distribution and management.

• Enhanced Structural Integrity: Incorporating transverse and longitudinal stiffeners, along with auxiliary rib plates, strengthens the center pipe, making it highly resilient even in harsh operating conditions.
  

• Reduced Pressure Drop: Utilizing vertical wires and innovative design configurations minimizes pressure drop, enhancing overall system efficiency.

• Extended Lifespan: Axially-seamless construction and superior manufacturing techniques ensure prolonged longevity compared to conventional structures.

• Flexibility in Height and Diameter Customization: Center pipes can be tailored to specific client needs through flexibility in height and diameter customization.
