Column Feed Pipes

Column Feed Pipes are essential components in distillation, absorption, and extraction columns, designed to introduce liquid or vapour feed uniformly into the column. Proper feed distribution prevents channelling, flooding, and maldistribution, ensuring high separation efficiency and consistent column performance.

Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3 or PTFE, these feed pipes provide chemical resistance, thermal stability, and long-term durability for laboratory, pilot, and industrial columns.

Working Principle

1. Feed enters the column via the feed pipe.
2. The pipe directs the liquid or vapour stream to the column section.
3. Proper placement ensures uniform flow across the packing bed.
4. Enhances mass transfer efficiency and prevents packing displacement.
