Liquid dispenser

for distillation towers

Packed tower columns use liquid distributors above each bed of packing to provide uniform liquid distribution. Redistribution of liquid between packed beds improves efficiency. Liquid distribution INTALOX® high performance distributors are designed to provide a uniform drip-point pattern and uniform point-to-point flow to the packing below. As a result, INTALOX high performance distributors are recommended for: Distillation services With high stage count per bed That are operating near the minimum reflux ratio or close to an equilibrium pinch Distillation systems With low relative volatility With high purity product Absorption or stripping applications with close approach to equilibrium Heat transfer applications with close approach temperatures Koch-Glitsch “traditional” liquid distributors have less uniform distribution patterns and liquid flow than the INTALOX high performance distributors. The standardized construction of these distributors make them a more economical alternative for less demanding services, typically in conjunction with a conventional random packing.
