The Feed Mixture flows up through the Primary Distribution Grid expanding the Catalyst Bed. The catalyst in an Ebullated Bed Reactor is expanded approximately 40% above its Settled Bed Level by Recirculating Oil collected at the Top of the Reactor via a Reactor Ebullating Pump. The Recirculated Oil is separated from the Reactor Effluent Vapor by means of a Recycle Disengagement Pan.
