In this paper the concept of a mass transfer section is applied to problems involving packed distillation columns and packed absorbers. When this concept is employed, the resulting equations required to describe packed distillation columns and packed absorbers are identical in form to those required to describe distillation columns and absorbers with plates. Data from the results of two field tests are presented and analyzed.
