TYPES OF TRAY

• 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
