In packed towers provided with saddle packing, liquid redistributors are positioned at every _______________ times column diameter or 6 metres whichever is less?
Correct answer: B. 5-8
- A. 2-3
- B. 5-8
- C. 10-15
- D. 20-25
Explanation
Liquid redistributors in packed towers are commonly installed after about 5 to 8 column diameters, with 6 m used as the maximum spacing here. This prevents liquid from concentrating near the wall and maintains uniform wetting.
