    The document discusses different types of column internals used in distillation. It describes bubble trays which have risers and caps that direct vapor downward through slots to bubble through liquid on the tray. Sieve trays are simple metal plates with holes for vapor to pass through liquid. Valve trays have perforations covered by liftable caps so that vapor lifts the caps and flows horizontally into the liquid, providing better mixing than sieve trays.

    Column Internals:
    1. Bubble Trays:
    A bubble cap tray has riser or chimney fitted over each hole, and a cap that covers the
    riser. The cap is mounted so that there is a space between riser and cap to allow the passage
    of vapour. Vapour rises through the chimney and is directed downward by the cap, finally
    discharging through slots in the cap, and finally bubbling through the liquid on the tray.

    2. Sieve Trays:
    Sieve trays are simply metal plates with holes in them. Vapour passes straight upward through
    the liquid on the plate. The arrangement, number and size of the holes are design parameters.

    3. Valve Trays:
    In valve trays, perforations are covered by liftable caps. Vapour flows lifts the caps, thus
    self-creating a flow area for the passage of vapour. The lifting cap directs the vapour to flow
    horizontally into the liquid, thus providing better mixing than is possible in sieve trays.
