Even though bubble cap towers are very effective for humidification operation, they are not used commonly in industries, because of the_________________?

Correct answer: B. High pressure drop of the gas

  • A. High evaporation losses of water
  • B. High pressure drop of the gas
  • C. Difficulty in its fabrication
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Bubble-cap trays provide effective gas-liquid contact but impose a relatively high pressure drop because gas must pass through the liquid seals and caps. This higher energy requirement limits their industrial use compared with simpler trays or packings.
