Liquid distribution studies in packed beds
Conference

OSTI ID:6412787
Recent research has shown that liquid distribution is even more important to the apparent efficiency of packed columns than was previously believed. An ''Adjustable Liquid Distributor'' which allows distribution to be changed with the column in operation has been designed and is being used to gain more insight into packed column operation. Preliminary conclusions are that discontinuities and zonal flows have the most severe impact on efficiency.
