Screen bottoms of distillery columns.Peer-reviewed article

B. MELICHAR

The screen bottoms are the simplest type of bottoms which may be used for big distilling columns and refining columns.  When designing new installations the designers should select screen bottoms everywhere, unless specific working conditions eliminate their application. Substantial economy may be achieved since the material requirements of screen bottoms are lower than of any other type including cap bottoms. Their production is simple and manufacturing costs low. In a wide range of working conditions the screen bottoms are quite reliable having serious merits in their economical design and construction.
