A system is a connection of equipment connected together to perform a specific function. The system shown below is consists of a column, condenser, reboiler, heater, drum, pumps, pipes, and valves which are connected together to separate the crude oil to its components. Analyze each device in the diagram and answer the associated questions: 1. Distillation the column usually contains plates or trays to provide more contact area between gas and liquid. These trays can be designed in three different types such as bubble cap, valve, and sieve trays. Determine which type is shown in the above column and describe it. 2. How can you evaluate the performance of the distillation process if the bubble cap plates are changed to sieve trays?
