Baffle Tray

Baffle trays are commonly used in distillation columns due to their open design which provides high capacity, resistance to fouling, and low pressure drop. Vapor and liquid contact on baffle trays occurs as vapor passes through curtains of falling liquid or rivulets of liquid through perforations in the tray deck. Baffle trays occupy 40-60% of a tower's cross-sectional area and come in variants like "disk and donut" trays with circular baffles. Baffle trays are well-suited for heat transfer applications in heavy oil refining and petrochemical processes that involve high solids or petroleum coke content.

Baffle tray.. in distillation column... !!!!

Because of their open design, baffle trays


are used in applications requiring high
capacity, fouling resistance and low pressure
drop. Vapor-liquid contacting takes place
when the vapor passes through a curtain of
liquid falling between trays, or through
rivulets of liquid flowing through tray deck
perforations. Tray decks may be level or
slightly inclined and typically occupy 40-60%
of the tower cross-sectional area. “Disk and
donut” trays have circular baffles and are a
popular variant of this deign.
Baffle trays are well suited for
heattransfer applications including heavy oil
refining and petrochemical oil refining and
petrochemical heat transfer services with
high solids or petroleum coke content.
