Sieve Tray (KPT TRAY-1)
Sieve Tray
Sieve Trays are essential components in distillation and mass transfer operations, featuring metal plates with strategically placed holes. These trays function by allowing vapor to pass through the holes while the liquid is retained on the plate, creating an effective separation process. The design parameters, including the arrangement, number, and size of the holes, are critical to optimizing tray performance. Sieve trays are known for their low maintenance costs, reduced fouling tendencies, and ease of fabrication, making them a cost-effective solution in various industrial applications.
Key Features:
Cost-Effective: Sieve trays offer a low capital expense compared to other mass transfer trays, making them a budget-friendly option.
High Capacity and Efficiency: These trays provide high throughput and efficient separation, even in demanding conditions.
Low Pressure Drop: The design ensures minimal pressure loss, contributing to overall process efficiency.
Ease of Maintenance: Sieve trays are easy to clean and maintain, reducing operational downtime.
Application-Specific Adaptability: While they are not suitable for wide turndown ratios, they perform exceptionally well in stable, low-fouling environments.
Applications:
Main Fractionators in Refineries: Essential for efficient crude oil processing.
Light End Columns in Petrochemical Plants: Ideal for the separation of lighter hydrocarbons.
Absorbers and Regenerators in Gas Plants: Effective in gas treatment processes.

FAQ'S
It is a flat perforated plate with no moving parts & made up of simply metal with holes in them. Vapour passes straight upward through the liquid on the plate. The arrangement, number, and size of the holes are design parameters.
They are simply metal plates with holes in them. Vapour passes straight upward through the liquid on the plate.
Sieve trays rely on vapor velocity to exclude liquid from falling through the perforations in the tray floor. If the vapor velocity is much lower than design, the liquid will begin to flow through the perforations rather than into the downcomer. This condition is known as weeping.
They are simple perforated plates with small holes about 5 to 6 mm (0.2 to 0.25 inch) in diameter.
