    015 Tray Efficiencies PDF

    Uploaded by

    Ali Alengineer
    The document provides typical numbers of actual and theoretical trays and overall efficiencies for various types of distillation columns in petroleum refining processes. Simple absorbers and strippers typically have 20-30 actual trays and 20-30% overall efficiency. Crude distillation columns typically have 35-50 actual trays and 50-60% overall efficiency. Vacuum column stripping sections typically have 2-4 actual trays and flash zones have 2-3 trays. FCC main fractionators typically have 24-35 actual trays and 50-60% overall efficiency.
