A liquid redistribution system 32 for redistributing liquid descending in a packed distillation column 1 in which liquid is distributed from one side 1A of the column to the other side 1B of the column 1 and vice-versa. To this end, a plurality of parallel, spaced apart liquid distributor elements 38-62 provide inlet openings for receiving the liquid as it descends and outlet openings located on the underside of the distributor elements for discharging the liquid from the inlet openings. Channels provide flow communication between the inlet and outlet openings.
