The maximum pressure variation at the bottom of a reciprocating plate column of the Karr type was investigated in single phase liquid and two phase gas–liquid systems. In the gas–liquid system the gas hold‐up was also measured. The power consumption was calculated on the basis of the pressure variation at the bottom of the column. It was shown that the power consumption depends on the vibration intensity, liquid density and geometrical characteristics of the column in a non‐gassed single phase liquid system and on the same factors, as well as gas hold‐up, in gas–liquid systems. Semiempirical correlations were derived for the purpose of predicting power consumption in both single and two phase systems in a reciprocating plate column.
