Batch column:
In batch operation, the feed
to the column is introduced
batch-wise. That is, the
column is charged with a
'batch' and then the
distillation process is carried
out. When the desired task is
achieved, a next batch of
feed is introduced. Thus this
process is not a continuous
process, untill the final
product is reached,

Continuous Columns:
In continuous columns, the feed
stream is continuous. No
interruptions occur unless there
is a problem with the column or
surrounding process units.

Sieve trays
Sieve trays are simply
metal plates with holes
in them. Vapour passes
straight upward through
the liquid on the plate.
The arrangement,
number and size of the
holes are design
parameters.
