Distillation, Gas Absorption, and Stripping Equipment
Table of Contents
Overview
This page goes into detail regarding the equipment used for distillation, gas absorption, and stripping, as it is all very similar. More information on the separation processes themselves can be found on their respective pages.
Trayed Columns
As specified in the name, trayed columns have multiple trays with openings that allow vapor to travel up the column and water flows down through the column contacting the vapor. The three different types of trays are sieve trays, valve trays, and bubble-cap trays which all differ based on the openings they have. Sieve trays have perforations which are simply holes in the tray. Valve trays have multiple valves caps on them that allow vapour to escapee through the sides when the cap comes off. Bubble-cap trays have multiple bubble caps that work similar to valve caps although the vapour is directed downwards before escaping. [1]
