Design Practices Committee

Scope of the DPC

The Design Practices Committee of FRI functions as a body where general distillation industry design practices are documented and guidelines for their application developed. Their work is documented in FRI's Fractionation Tray Design Handbook: Volume 5; Design Practices. This may be viewed online in the TAC Member Access area. A TAC Member Access password is required.

Design Practice Committee members are not always Technical Representatives from their member companies. They are appointed to the committee from Member Companies based on their expertise in the industry.
