Hello,

in the image attached, two towers, same geometry, operating conditions, and liquid properties.
One has an outlet that goes directly into the receiving vessel
The option B has same outlet, but with a P trap type outlet, i.e. down and up before disposing into the next vessel.

Apart from the obvious extra 2 or 3 90 degree elbows and extra pipe length, if the heights are the same as shown, will there be extra pressure required to push the liquid into the next vessel?

Thanks for your help.

As much as possible, do it right the first time...

No.

What is going in here?

How many variations are you going to come up with?
