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.
