Know different components used in packed towers

Packed towers are widely used as contacting equipment for liquid-liquid and gas-liquid systems. The fundamental structure of the Packed Column has a shell, packing and packing support systems. Another essential element is a liquid distributor. Gas and liquid entrance and exit nozzles allow the liquid to enter and come out from the packed towers. What plays the most important part in the efficient operation of a packed tower? Experts say that the mechanical aspect of tower construction is mainly responsible for it. Therefore, the effectiveness of the contact between the process streams must be increased, and the loss should be minimized. The overall efficiency of the system largely depends on the quality of different components in the packed tower. When the contact between the process streams increases and loss reduces by entrainment or wall, the process brings minimum expenditure of pressure drop. Also, consistent design is also critically important. The article talks about
