Measuring Tray Performance in Distillation

Tray distillation is used to separate liquid mixtures with a column that contains trays or packed sections. This experiment focuses on a sieve tray column, which uses trays with holes in a support plate to create a large contact area between liquid and vapor. The mixture being separated contains methanol, isopropanol, and wa...

Tray distillation is a crucial chemical engineering technique used to separate compound mixtures in various industrial settings. Such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and natural gas processing. Distillation is performed in a column with many different levels called trays. A liquid feed stream travels through the column and after exposure to ...
