What about the central part? Could you explain the underlying principles behind the different designs? I’d like to learn about it
UOP calls it a “donut” tray
Ring trays – in any case, they are based on the principles of catalytic cracking; when the slurry turns into water, the wedge-shaped baffles are replaced with ring tray plates
Is this type of annular disc used in the main fractionation tower of catalytic cracking?
Well, that can’t be called copying, right? Each company has its own experience in choosing the type of tray based on the properties of the fluid. That’s why UOP chooses its own ring trays, while in ethylene plants, the corrugated trays are the preferred choice for the quench oil towers~
