DISTILLATION COLUMNS - CL

FEATURES

  • Columns are the core of any distillation plant. It is adapted to each application by the design and selection of different column internals.

    Column types
    Our distillation & rectification systems, operating under vacuum, at atmospheric condition, or in pressure, optimally use the following column types, depending on the application:

    Tray columns

    • Sieve tray

    • Bubble cup tray

    • Valve tray

    • Tunnel tray


    Packing columns

    • Random packing

    • Structured packing


    In general, trays are used in applications with liquid flow-rate of 30 m3/m2h and above, and/or those where solids are present or fouling is a concern.
    Structured packing are typically used in lower flow-rate applications, especially where minimizing column pressure drop is important (e.g. under low vacuum).
    Random packing are often used in higher flow-rate applications where lower pressure drop is desired.

    Depending on the application, distillation columns are equipped with the following reboiler types:

    • Agitated Thin Film TFE/E

    • Falling Film FFE

    • Forced Circulation Reboilers
