Abstract: A liquid distributor for receiving and distributing a liquid stream in a mass transfer column. The liquid distributor has at least one trough for receiving and allowing the accumulation of a liquid stream within the trough. A plurality of liquid discharge orifices in the trough allow a first set of individual discharge streams to be discharged from the trough and received on a splash baffle that is spaced from the plurality of liquid discharge orifices. A closed-ended lateral spreader channel is positioned on an upper surface of the splash baffle at a location to receive and cause accumulation of the first set of individual discharge streams descending on the splash baffle. The lateral spreader channel includes a spreader plate that extends upwardly from and extends laterally a preselected distance across the splash baffle. A plurality of first liquid discharge orifices are positioned in the spreader plate at laterally spaced-apart locations from each other so that the first set of individual discharge streams after accumulating in the lateral spreader channel are discharged through the first liquid discharge orifices in the spreader plate to form a second set of individual discharge streams that further descend and spread laterally on the splash baffle before delivery to a layer of mass transfer devices.
