Product Description
The trough-pan gas-liquid distributor is one of the most widely used column distributors. It distributes gas and liquid evenly with a large contact area, takes little height and resists dirt and blockage. Its shutter layout can also collect liquid.
Also called a trough-pan distributor, it is a low height liquid distributor that needs little space in the column.
How It Works
