This is a point that is up for debate (and was actually debated in the original thread). Honestly, it depends on the reactor. OBSERVE and see what works. There are many on this forum that think it tends to work better being injected from the top (I subscribe to this theory as well). Likewise, there are many here that think it tends to work better lower down on the reactor.

But, it really depends on any number of variables, primarily the amount of flow you have going through the reactor vs. the reactor type and size. Which is why it varies by reactor.

Whew. (I think I typed that holding my breath)!
