Liquid Collector
It collects liquid from distributor above the bed and feeds to the Re-distributor. Supported by support-ring which is directly welded to the column walls. The pressure drop is negligible. Collector trays are used to collect liquid which resides in between the packed beds (or tray transition).
Type of liquid collector tray
1. Chimney Collector Tray:
Chimney collector tray is designed to overcome the issue of stream distribution or draw off a liquid feed with the liquid to the column before introducing the mixture liquid above the packed bed. It can be designed by to liquid accumulate on the tray without any leakage by the seal welding or either with a bolted or gasket construction.
2. Lamella vane type:
The function of the collector is to collect liquid from the above-packed bed and directed to annular trough.
