Experience from experimental studies shows that the efficiency of a column packing depends considerably on liquid flow management at the top of the column. Therefore, attention must be drawn to the need for a proper liquid distribution design in order to obtain good operation of the packed bed. The choice of the liquid distribution system depends on the geometry of the selected packings and on the operating condition. One of the main parameters which determines the operation of the distribution and its influence on bed efficiency is the number of liquid feeders. Extensive systematic investigation were carried out under absorption, desorption and rectification conditions in beds of different dumped and regular packings, applying distributors with varying numbers of liquid outlets. The evaluations and modeling of the experimental results led to the determination of the proper number of feeder points, which mainly depends on the packing geometry represented by its open area and void fraction. The main results are shown in the form of diagrams and equations.
