Being a vessel and/or piping designer, I am unfamiliar with this particular piece of equipment. This is a nozzle that is in an internal head in an activated carbon adsorber. Does anyone know where I can get something similar?

I hope someone in this forum can help me out...

That is not a nozzle as per the pressure vessel code definition. It looks like a sort of filter bolted on the wall of the vessel's head/cone. Is it connected to some outside piping? Could be a container for storing the activated carbon below the process fluid level? or similar?

Looks like a diffuser to me. It lets the gas in and keeps the carbon in.
You could make something similar with profile wire, sometimes called wedge wire or tri lobe wire.

Contact the equiment manufacturer. He will be happy to sell you spare parts.
 
Nozzles like this are made by a company called Cadar here in the UK.

They will have been bought in by the vessel manufacturer from such an OEM supplier. They will sell you spares, but there will be a markup of course.
