ABSTRACT:
A low flow liquid distributor and redistributor for a liquid/gas contact tower comprises: one or more receptacles each extending over a cross sectional area of the tower chamber and adapted to receive a source of liquid supplied either directly thereto or indirectly from the source via liquid feed splitter means that divides and dispenses the liquid received to each receptacle. Each receptacle has at least one side wall including one or more metering weirs dividing the liquid flow into one or more streams directed against a liquid distribution drip plate situated relatively close to the sidewall of the receptacles. Each liquid distribution drip plate has an upper portion extending downwardly to a short horizontal wall both of which causes liquid to spread horizontally and fill the narrow space between it and the sidewall of the receptacle and flow downwardly over the horizontal wall, through apertures in an adjoining side portion and a lower serrated portion extending downwardly therefrom composed of a number of angularly disposed drip portions and edges adapted to direct and uniformly divide low rates of liquid flow over the cross sectional area of the liquid contact tower chamber and a bed of tower packing elements therein.
