The hydrodynamics of distillation trays and columns is a critical area of research in chemical engineering, underpinning the efficient separation of chemical mixtures. This field explores the ...

A distillation tray is used to mix vapors and liquids together. The better the mixing, the more efficiently the tray works. Tray efficiency also depends on two other factors: how well the droplets of ...

Studying case studies of fouling in refinery and petrochemical plant distillation units reinforces the theories of fouling-resistant designs. Case studies help refine these design practices and ...
