Various types of column with their aryng functions are in use fr ranery and Petrochemical industry. Generally they are distinguished based on the specie operation for mass transfer vie. Dsilation, Absorption -stipping or Fractionation ete. 2.0 Distillation Column Piping “The distillation is separation ofthe constituents of aliquid mixture va paral vaporization ofthe mixture and separate recovery of vapour and residue ‘Various kinds of devices calle plates or trays are used to beng the two phases int intimate contact. The trays are stacked one above the cther and enclosed in a cylindrical shel to form a Distillation Column. “The fad material, which to be separated into fractions, introduced at one or mare pois along the column shel Due to diforence in grauty between liquid and vapour phases, the lgud uns down the column, eascasing tom tay to tray, while wepour goes up the column Contacting the qu at each ray.
