A distillation tray is used to mix vapors and liquids together. The better the mixing, the more efficiently the tray works. Tray efficiency also depends on two other factors: how well the droplets of ...

The hydrodynamics of distillation trays and columns is a critical area of research in chemical engineering, underpinning the efficient separation of chemical mixtures. This field explores the ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Studying case studies of fouling in refinery and petrochemical plant distillation units reinforces the theories of fouling-resistant designs. Case studies help refine these design practices and ...
