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.
