In addition to the task of equal liquid distribution the part has to meet following requirements:

pressure drop in the gas phase should be low

part should be resistant against dirt or solids in the liquid

high turn down ratio

low entrainment of droplets

prevention of irregular gas distribution

prevention of wall effect on liquid flow

The following types of liquid distributors are available:

distribution tray

trough-type distributor

ladder-type distributor

spray nozzle-type distributor

Following principles of liquid distribution are used:

by orifices at the bottom of distribution troughs or by drip tubes perforated at the sides

overflow distribution by slots at the side of the troughs or by overflow spouts

nozzles

Each of the types and principles listed above has its specific advantages and disadvantages. We will be glad to assist you with our experience to find the appropriate type for your requirements (with regard to column diameter, liquid load, operation range...).
