For most trays, liquid flows across an “active area” of the tray and then into a “downcomer” to the next tray below, etc. Inlet and/or…

Sieve trays are the least expensive tray option. In sieve trays, vapor flowing up through the tower contacts the liquid by passing through small perforations…
The number of actual equilibrium stages determines the number of flashes that will occur. The more stages, the more complete the split, but the taller…
It can be seen from the previous description that the design of both a cold-feed stabilizer and a stabilizer with reflux is a rather complex…
Figure 6-5 shows a stabilizer with reflux. The well fluid is heated with the bottoms product and injected into the tower, below the top, where…
Figure 6-4 shows the cold feed distillation tower of Figure 6-3. The inlet stream enters the top of the tower. It is heated by the…
It is possible to stabilize a liquid at a constant pressure by successively flashing it at increasing temperatures as shown in Figure 6-2. At each…
Figure 6-1 shows a multistage separation process. By removing molecules of the light components in the first separator they are not available to flash to…
The fraction of any one component that flashes to gas at any stage in a process is a function of the temperature, pressure, and composition…
