Flash tanks and distillation towers
(OP)
I am wondering what the difference is between a Flash Tank and a Distillation Tower is?
I know the function of each one, when should i use one or the other?

RE: Flash tanks and distillation towers
A distillation tower has more than one stage of separation. The number of equilibrium stages = number of actual trays x tray efficiency, or the height of actual packing / height of packing for one equilibrium stage.
This is a simple answer. We may have to get more complicated depending if it answers your question or not.
Good luck,
