Liquid Distribution Systems
Precision Liquid Distribution for Maximum Column Performance
The efficiency of a packed column depends significantly on how uniformly the process liquid is distributed across the packing surface. Even the highest-performance structured or random packing cannot achieve optimum mass transfer if the liquid is unevenly distributed. Shreewire Liquid Distribution Systems are engineered to deliver uniform liquid flow over the entire tower cross-section, ensuring maximum packing utilization, improved separation efficiency, and reduced operating costs. Each distributor is hydraulically designed to suit the process flow rate, liquid properties, packing type, and column diameter.
