What You’ll Learn:

1. Introduction to Distillation Columns:
   • Gain a fundamental understanding of what distillation columns are and their role in industrial processes. Explore the basic principles behind distillation and its applications in separating mixtures based on their boiling points.
2. Purpose of Distillation Towers:
   • Learn why distillation towers are essential in the chemical, petrochemical, and refining industries. Understand their purpose in separating and purifying mixtures and their importance in achieving high-quality product streams.
3. Overview of Two Types of Distillation Columns: Packed and Tray Type:
   • Get an overview of the two main types of distillation columns—Packed and Tray columns. Discover the differences between these types, their designs, operational efficiencies, and when each type is best utilized.
4. Important Associated Items in Distillation Towers:
   • Explore the key components associated with distillation towers that are critical for their efficient operation:
   • Feed Nozzle: Learn about the role of the feed nozzle in introducing the feed mixture into the column and its impact on the separation process.
   • Working of Reboiler: Understand how the reboiler provides the necessary heat to vaporize the liquid at the bottom of the column and maintains the temperature gradient.
   • Working of Condenser: Discover the function of the condenser in cooling and condensing the vapor back into liquid at the top of the column, completing the separation process.
5. Types of Column Trays: Sieve, Bubble Cap, and Valve Trays:
