Towers & Columns
In petrochemicals, towers are among the most critical process equipment responsible for separation, purification, and product preparation. The most important towers include:
- Distillation
- Absorption/Stripping
- Extraction
- Gas Scrubbing (Scrubber)
- Rectification
- Auxiliary towers such as Cooling Towers and Dryers

Distillation Column
Distillation Column
Application: Separation of petroleum mixture components (e.g. benzene, gasoline, white spirit) based on boiling point differences.
Structure: A vertical column with trays or packing where separation occurs stage by stage.
Types:
- Fractional Distillation
- Vacuum Distillation for heavy petroleum cuts

Absorption Tower
Absorption Tower
Application: Absorption of one or more components from a gas stream using a liquid absorbent.
Example: Removal of H₂S and CO₂ from gas using amine solutions (Amine Absorber).
Structure: Usually a tray or packed column for maximum gas-liquid contact.

Stripping / Regeneration Tower
Stripping / Regeneration Tower
Application: Reverse of absorption; the absorbed component is released and the absorbent is regenerated.
Example: H₂S stripping from amine solution in gas sweetening units.
برج شستوشو
Scrubber Tower
Scrubber Tower
Application: Purification of gas streams from dust, particulates, or contaminants by wet or dry scrubbing.
Example: Used in combustion units or exhaust outlets of furnaces.
Types:
- Wet Scrubber
- Dry Scrubber

Extraction Tower
Extraction Tower
Application: Separation of liquid mixture components using a selective solvent.
Example: Extraction of aromatics from petroleum cuts using selective solvents.
Structure: Usually tray-type or packed.
برج رکتفیکاسیون
Rectification Column
Rectification Column
Application: A high-purity distillation column for precise separation of light components such as propane, butane, and ethylene.
Example: Ethylene Plants.
برج خنککننده فرآیندی
Cooling Tower – Utility
Cooling Tower – Utility
Application: Rejection of excess heat from cooling water used in heat exchangers and condensers.
Types: Open circuit, closed circuit, hybrid.

Absorber/Stripping for Purification
Absorber/Stripping for Purification
Application: Removal of impurities such as sulfur compounds, water, and other contaminants from gas streams.
Example: Desiccant Towers for natural gas dehydration.
