Sieve Trays

Sieve trays are straightforward, cost-effective vapor-liquid contact devices used in distillation and absorption columns. Their perforated design enables high vapor flow and effective mass transfer, making them ideal for high-capacity processes. With no moving parts, sieve trays are durable and require low maintenance. Commonly used in refining, gas absorption, and solvent recovery, sieve trays offer a balance of efficiency and moderate pressure drop, though they are less adaptable to fluctuating flow rates than valve trays.
