Help me check what type of tower it is
Thread Content
These are the first three images showing the trays of our distillation tower; one of them represents the entire tower. I would like to know what type of tower this is and how it works. The last image shows the feed inlet of the pre-tower – what kind of tower is this and how does it function?
In a structured packing tower, the separation accuracy is not as high as that of a plate tower, and the pressure drop is lower than that of a plate tower; the principle remains the same
Whether it is a packed tower or a tray tower, the working principle is the same; for packed towers with regular packing, the requirement is for operations where the separation precision does not need to be very high
Packed tower. The last one is the feed distribution system.
What is the purpose of those partitions below?
It’s a grid to prevent the packing from bouncing.

Its principle relies on distillation separation; through thorough contact between the gas and liquid phases, multiple evaporation and condensation processes take place to achieve the separation of mixtures
It’s similar to a finned heat exchanger.
Packed towers, corrugated orifice plate packing; lastly, trough-type liquid distributors
