Abstract
A method and apparatus for withdrawal and replacement of solid particles slurried in a fluid employing L-valves is disclosed. The flow through the L-valves is controlled by the control of the flow of separated fluid and the replacement and withdrawal functions are configured so as to permit removal of the solids from the system and addition of fresh material. Control of the fluid flow by means of exerting or controlling pressure on the gas phase in association with it.
