Column internals feed distributor

Internal pipe distributors are frequently used for feed or reflux inlets for trayed columns or towers (fractionation or distillation columns). They are used to distribute the inlet stream to a particular point on a tray or uniformly across a tray. The distributor consists of one or more pipes, with or without branches, containing a series of holes, slots or spray nozzles. This procedure addresses the design of these distribution devices.
