Uneven catalyst packing can lead to channeling, as the varying density of the catalyst results in different resistances for oil and gas as they pass through the bed, thereby causing channeling； Uneven distribution of the distributor can lead to blockages, leaks, and grooves when it is not installed properly.
Two points were mentioned upstairs; one more to add: improper installation of the internal components can also lead to channeling flow
