Product Description

Trays

SIEVE Trays

Sieve trays are the basic type of fractionation tray, typically using ½” diameter holes with an open area between 5 to 15%. They have a moderate pressure drop with average capacity & separation efficiency. Sieve trays offer a key advantage of cost. However, flexibility is limited to 2 to 1 and in addition, sieve trays are not suitable for fouling services.

BUBBLE CAP Trays

Bubble cap trays are used in applications with very low liquid loading and requiring very high flexibility (e.g., an operating range of 10 to 1) such as in batch distillations. Bubble caps are either slotted type or un-slotted type, both in a full range of sizes (2” nb to 6” nb). Bubble cap trays have a high-pressure drop with low capacity & separation efficiency. They are not suitable for fouling services.

FXV Valve Trays

The FXV valve is a stationary (fixed) valve pressed up from the tray deck and is supplied in 3 different sizes with varying lifts: Mini size FXV30 (shown on the front page) Standard size FXV60 (shown here) Large size FXV110 Compared to sieve trays, the FXV valve trays give: higher capacity greater flexibility with a normal operating range of 3 to 1 increased mechanical strength longer service life higher efficiency (due to distinct trapezoidal shape giving plug flow) FXV valves are excellent for fouling services e.g. for columns within a HF Alkylation Unit.

STD Valve Trays

The STD valve is an industry-standard movable valve. The valve is made in one piece with 3 legs and is normally supplied with dimples to limit the contact with the tray deck to 3 points when shut. These valves are used for general applications except where there is a risk of fouling. Alternate rows of light valves (1.5mm thick) and heavy valves (2.0mm thick) are used to maximize turndown. Typical operating range is 4 to 1. Very light valves (1.2mm thick) are used to minimize the (dry) pressure drop.

RMV Valve Trays

The RMV valves are rectangular-shaped movable valves used for general and special applications. Two sizes are used to suit the column diameter: RMV60 small diameter columns and RMV120 large diameter columns The rectangular shape offers the following key advantages: a maximum open area for high vapor load services variable open area to suit vapor flow higher efficiency due to plug flow Alternate rows of light valves (1.5mm thick) and heavy valves (2.0mm thick) are used to maximize turndown. Typical operating range is 4 to 1. Very light valves (1.0mm thick) are used to minimize the (dry) pressure drop.

NCD Valve Trays

The NCD valve is a 2-piece valve, where a 4-legged hold-down cage (securely attached to the tray deck) contains a movable valve disc. These valves are used for general applications like the STD valve but with the following advantages: longer lasting in service less risk of sticking shut or open suitable for fouling services Increased flexibility due to less liquid weeping Alternate rows of light (1.5mm thick) and heavy (2.0mm thick) discs can be used to maximize turndown.

LCD Valve Trays: These are NCD valves with a very light disc (1.2mm thick) to reduce (dry) pressure drop.

VCD Valve Trays: These are NCD valves with a very light disc (1.2mm thick) plus a venturi hole to minimize (dry) pressure drop.
