Abstract

A fluid distributor is provided for distributing a fluid in an up-flow reactor. The fluid distributor includes a supply pipe and a plurality of fluid distribution arms that extend from the supply pipe. Each of the fluid distribution arms has a plurality of holes for discharging the fluid. An elongated hood is spaced from and at least partially surrounds each of the fluid distribution arms to redirect the fluid when discharged from the plurality of holes in the fluid distribution arms. Each hood has a plurality of holes for allowing the passage of the fluid through the hood. Each of the hoods is formed from a plurality of hood segments that positioned end to end along a length of the fluid distribution arm and have deflectors to impede the fluid from flowing between adjacent ones of the hood segments.
