Use of units with direct-flow/vortical contact devices permitting one-sided separation is proposed as a means of increasing the output of mass-transfer equipment. A procedure is developed for evaluating the variation in the height of the liquid level on the tray of a mass-transfer unit with direct-flow/vortical contact devices. Basic structural and process parameters affecting the variation in the height of the liquid layer on the trays of this type of mass-transfer units are determined.
