Bubble cap trays are an integral part of the majority of distillation and absorption units, as they are stable and consistent in performance. The trays consist of a metal sheet with several holes, having a bubble cap especially designed for each opening. When the vapor is moving upwards, it flows through the slots or chimneys provided beneath every one of the caps so that it can flow through the layer of liquid above the tray.
This bubbling process allows intense contact between the liquid and vapor phases, which is accountable for efficient mass transfer. The design enables uniform operation even in unstable flow regimes, and hence, bubble cap trays are a highly desired choice in applications demanding high separation efficiency along with stable performance.
SH Engitech bubble cap trays are designed from durable, high-quality materials that can perform in harsh process conditions. They are used in many processes throughout chemical processing, petrochemicals, and pharmaceutical uses. Through their stable operation and increased service life, bubble cap trays remain a favorite option for increasing column efficiency and product quality.
