Bubble Cap Tray----www.rubbersealing.com
Bubble-Cap trays have numerous applications in refinery and gas plants, due to their effectiveness over a broad range of flow conditions and low susceptibility to fouling. T.C.I provides both standard and custom designs. We can supply not only standard materials such as 410, 304, and 316 Stainless steels, but also provide special materials such as Monel, Alloy 20, and Hastelloy in a variety of cap styles.
Bubble Cap TrayOther trays:
Sieve Tray
is a perforated tray with typically 8% to 15% open area, normally using 12.7mm-diameter holes.
Chimney Tray
has risers and hats for vapor flow while collecting liquid for drawoff.
Bubble Cap Tray
has risers and fixed caps through which vapor flows and contacts the liquid on the tray.
Post-supported Tray
T.C.I is used in small diameter towers typically less than 760 mm where trays are assembled one at a time over posts, or in cartridge bundles.
Shed Rows
are contacting devices for very heavily fouling service such as coker or cat unit slurry zones.
Caged Valve Trays
T.C.I specializes in the manufacturing of all types of Reactor Trays. Regardless of the OEM, we can manufacture most kinds of trays in any type of Metallurgy from Carbon Steel to Hastelloy B-3, without sacrificing reliability or quality. Along with our wide variety of tray replacement options,

For a binary set of components you calculate the feed tray using the McCabe Thiele method. For more complex systems you would need to use a process simulator and perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the optimum feed tray.
overflash acts as a reflux for the lowest tray from which side draw is made and the flash zone.It prevents heavier ends from reaching up the column.

The gas-liquid contacting element for bubble cap tray is bubble cap, which has round and groove-shaped structure forms. The bubble cap is installed above the chimney, and will not leak in conditions of proper installation and gas-liquid load, so the bubble cap tray is featured by stable operation and great flexibility. For structural reasons, the liquid level on the tray is relatively high, and two-phase contact is of long time. Therefore, the pressure drop is high, entrainment is increased, and the fall in the liquid level on the tray is relatively great, etc www.rubbersealing.com
When a bubble cup tray is used in a column, it facilitates efficient mass transfer between the ascending vapor and descending liquid phases. The design allows vapor to rise through the cups, creating bubbles that enhance contact with the liquid, promoting mixing and separation of components. This setup is commonly utilized in distillation and absorption processes to improve efficiency and optimize separation performance. Additionally, the tray's geometry helps maintain liquid hold-up, which can be crucial for effective operation.

• Bubble cap trays are used primarily where large turndown ratios are required. Turndown ratio is the range of higest to the lowest flow rates. • Their construction allows very low liquid rates to be handled with little or no leakage. • Due to their ability to operate at low vapor and liquid rates, bubble cap trays are used in a significant portion of fractionation tray installations.
A bubble cap tray is a type of internals used in distillation columns to facilitate vapor-liquid contact. It consists of a series of perforated plates, each featuring upward-facing caps that create bubble-like formations as vapor passes through the liquid on the tray. This design enhances mass transfer by promoting better mixing between the vapor and liquid phases, improving the efficiency of the separation process. Bubble cap trays are commonly used in industrial applications such as petrochemical refining and chemical processing.

Packed column consist of porous substance as a packing in the column which provides contact between the fluids used,while different types of trays are used depending on the ease of separation instead of a packing in a usual tray column.
Weeping is when liquid flows downward through the holes in a distillation tray. Normally vapor rises up through the holes and contacts the liquid on the tray. If the vapor rate is too low the liquid may be able to drop to the next stage through the holes, resulting in less than optimal vapor/liquid contact (and therefore less than optimal separation). Condensed liquid from above trays is generally distributed onto a distillation tray via a weir.

Coneing in distillation is a phenomenon where the distillation column becomes unevenly flooded and the liquid level forms a cone shape in the column rather than being uniformly distributed. This can result in reduced efficiency and even tray damage in the column. Coneing typically occurs when there is an imbalance between the vapor and liquid flow rates in the column.
From the Crude Splitter Column top tray, gasoline in vapor form is condensed in the condenser overhead vessel. The gasoline product from the vessel is sent to the gasoline stripper column. The bottom product of this gasoline stripper column is termed SR Gasoline.
