Spray Feed Sections

Spray Feed Sections

Spray Feed Sections are specialty glass column sections designed for uniform and controlled introduction of liquid feed into distillation, absorption, and extraction columns. Manufactured from Borosilicate Glass 3.3, these sections convert incoming liquid feed into a fine spray, ensuring maximum interfacial contact between phases.

The spray feed design significantly improves mass transfer efficiency, reduces channeling, and enhances overall column performance, making it ideal for laboratory, pilot plant, and industrial-scale applications.

How It Works – Step-by-Step

1. Liquid feed enters the spray feed section through the inlet connection.
2. The spray distributor disperses the liquid into fine droplets.
3. Droplets are uniformly distributed across the column cross-section.
4. Vapor or countercurrent liquid phase interacts with the spray for enhanced mass transfer.
5. The system operates with improved efficiency and stable flow behavior.
