Abstract
A low cost antipenetration pan for use on fractionation trays is attached to the bottom of downcomers via releasable clips which slide through slots in the bottom of the downcomer. The clips are at the end of the legs of the pan, and the legs may slide upward through the slots to allow the legs to nest within the downcomer during shipment.
