  • Question
  • Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to the use of valve tray, seive tray and bubble cap trays in continuous distillation column.


  • Options
  • A. Bubble cap trays though most expensive are the best in situations, where low vapour rates is to be handled and a positive liquid seal is essential at all flow rates.
  • B. Murphree efficiency of all the three trays are nearly equal, however the peak efficiency is generally higher for seive and valve trays than the bubble cap.
  • C. Maintenance cost for valve and seive trays are comparatively more than bubble cap tray due to their relatively complicated construction features.
  • D. Valve trays have the highest turn down ratio (i.e. the ratio of the highest to the lowest vapour flow rates) and thus provides the maximum flexible operating range.

  • Correct Answer
  • Maintenance cost for valve and seive trays are comparatively more than bubble cap tray due to their relatively complicated construction features.
