Types of Tray

The choice of a particular tray and its design can physically affect the efficiency of a given distillation, absorption, or stripping system. Each tray should be designed to have as efficient interaction as possible between vapor and liquid as much as possible within reasonable economic limits.

A] Valve tray:

Advantages:

·         Excellent liquid/ vapors contacting.

·         Higher capacity.

·         Higher flexibility than sieve trays.

·         Can handle higher loadings.

·         Low-pressure drop than bubble cap.

B] Sieve tray:

Advantages:

·         Simple construction Low entrainment

·         low-cost Low maintenance cost

·         Low fouling tendency

Disadvantages:

·         Less-flexible to varying loads than
