The Sieve Tray Column OperatiX - 07 is a glass sieve tray column, 750mm high and 50mm in diameter, with 7 trays. This Sieve Tray Column demonstrates vapor-liquid contact through perforated trays, downcomers, and weirs. It illustrates key phenomena such as weeping and flooding in cross-flow plate operation. The column includes 3 input ports and tray count can be increased as per demand.

Key Features
Construction and Design
The Sieve Tray Column OperatiX - 07 is built as a glass column, 750mm in height and 50mm in diameter. It contains 7 sieve trays, with tray count expandable as per demand. Each tray has perforations on the tray deck with small, round holes throughout. Downcomers and weirs move liquid flow to the overflow mechanism on the plate's side of the tower. The column includes 3 input ports.
Q: What type of tray does the Sieve Tray Column OperatiX - 07 use?
A: It uses a sieve tray, the simplest variety of cross-flow plate, with perforations on the tray deck.
Q: How many trays does the column have?
A: The column has 7 trays, which can be increased as per demand.
Q: What material is the column made of?
A: The column is made of glass.
Q: What is weeping in a sieve tray column?
A: Weeping occurs when gas flow is low and part or all of the liquid drains through the perforations, bypassing areas of the contacting zone.
Q: What is flooding in a sieve tray column?
A: Flooding occurs when foam from a downcomer cannot drain fast enough onto the tray below, causing the foamy liquid to back up onto the tray above.
