Description
Duke‘s Metal supplies liquid distributors for packed towers where uniform liquid distribution is critical to column efficiency and overall mass transfer performance. These internals are used in distillation, absorption, stripping, and other process applications to help achieve consistent liquid coverage across the packing bed.
This Tower Internals group also includes liquid collectors and redistributors used in towers requiring intermediate liquid collection and re-distribution between packed beds. These internals are commonly applied where controlled liquid handling and improved distribution are important to overall tower performance.

Types of Liquid Distributors for Packed Towers
Duke’s Metal supplies different types of liquid distributors to meet various tower design requirements.
Trough Liquid Distributor
Uses distribution troughs to evenly deliver liquid across the packed bed. Suitable for large-diameter columns requiring high distribution accuracy.
Pan Liquid Distributor
Features a compact design with multiple openings for liquid flow control. Commonly used in absorption and distillation columns.
Spray Liquid Distributor
Uses spray nozzles to distribute liquid over the packing surface and is suitable for specific flow conditions.
Orifice Liquid Distributor
Provides controlled liquid distribution through precisely designed openings for reliable tower operation.
Applications of Liquid distributors
Liquid distributors are critical tower internals used in:
- Distillation Columns
- Absorption Towers
- Stripping Columns
- Scrubbers
- Petrochemical Plants
- Oil & Gas Processing
- Chemical Processing
- Environmental Treatment Systems
They are commonly installed together with structured packing, random packing, and support grids to optimize tower performance.
