- Sainmhíniú chemical equipment used to carry out unit operations (a basic step in a process) where it is necessary to transfer mass between a liquid phase and a gas phase, it is therefore a particular gas-liquid contactor (it realizes the mass and heat transfer between a gas phase and a liquid phase), in which the gas comes in contact with liquid through different stages, each stage being delimited by two plates (except the stage at the top of the column and the stage at the bottom of the column) Tagairt COM-Terminology Coordination, based on:Wikipedia.
