For an economic operation of an extraction column and for modeling the mass transfer a narrow and constant drop‐size distribution at all flow rates is desired. This requires an additional possibility of adjusting the drop size independently of the flow velocity through the orifice. In experiments conducted with a normal tubular distributor the pulsation of the dispersed phase inside the distributor was chosen for controlling the drop size.
