Excessive liquid gradient on a tray may result in the______________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Maldistribution of gas
- B. Back trapping
- C. Gas blowing beneath cap skit
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
A large liquid gradient creates uneven liquid depth across the tray, causing gas maldistribution, back-trapping, and gas blowing under cap skirts. Thus all three listed effects can occur.
