Abstract
Fractionation trays are provided with an antipenetration pan which intercepts liquid falling from the downcomer of a vertically superior tray. The antipenetration pans are supported above the surface of the lower tray by brackets attached to the tray decking and to a horizontal deck brace which extends across the tray deck at the location of a joint or splice between adjacent tray deck plates. The invention thereby provides a simple, low cost and easy to install integral antipenetration pan and tray splice construction.
