Distillation Column Components Overview

A distillation column separates liquid components through a vertical shell containing trays or packings to enhance separation. A condenser cools vapors from the top of the column while a reflux drum holds condensed vapors to recycle liquid back to the column via a reboiler, which provides vaporization to drive the distillation process.
