Results for tag: "Distillation Tray"

Distillation trays are an essential component of chemical engineering, used in the process of separating mixtures of liquids and solids. They are used in a variety of industries, including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage. Distillation trays are designed to provide a large surface area for the vapor-liquid interface, allowing for efficient heat and mass transfer. The design of the tray is critical to the efficiency of the distillation process, and the selection of the tray type is based on the characteristics of the feed and the desired product. Distillation trays are typically made of stainless steel, aluminum, or other corrosion-resistant materials. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be customized to meet specific process requirements. The trays are designed to provide a uniform flow of liquid and vapor, and to minimize the potential for fouling or plugging. Some of the major companies in the distillation tray market include Koch-Glitsch, Sulzer, Koch Heat Transfer, and Alfa Laval. These companies offer a wide range of products, including trays, packing, and other related equipment. Show Less Read more
