The document discusses different types of trays used in distillation columns, including bubble cap trays, sieve trays, and valve trays. Bubble cap trays are older but flexible, sieve trays are inexpensive and good at design conditions, and valve trays have better turndown ratios and flexibility but are more expensive. Each tray type has advantages and disadvantages for different distillation applications and conditions.

• Bubble cap tray : old
• Sieve tray : simple • Valve tray : modern usage BUBBLE CAP TRAY BUBBLE CAP TRAY • Advantages • Disadvantages – flexible : operates – high entrainment: satisfactorily at requires higher tray very high and low spacing liquid flow rates – significant liquid gradient – problems with coking, high fouling mixtures – expensive – Poor turndown performance BUBBLE CAP TRAY (CONT’D) SIEVE TRAY SIEVE TRAY (CONT’D) • Advantages • Disadvantages – easy to – turndown is poor manufacture (efficiency falls – inexpensive below the design – considerable condition) design information – not flexible is available – efficiency is good at design condition – very good in fouling applications VALVE TRAY VALVE TRAY (CONT’D) • Advantages • Disadvantages – better turndown – Higher pressure ratio drop than sieve – more flexible tray – new industrial – 20% more columns are more expensive than likely to have valve sieve tray trays – more likely to foul or plug in case of dirty mixtures VALVE TRAY (ONE-PIECE VALVE) VALVE TRAY VALVE TRAY VALVE TRAY (CAGED VALVE) VALVE TRAY (CAGED VALVE) VALVE TRAY (FIXED VALVE) VALVE TRAY
