Description

Anti-fouling fractionation trays

UFM AF

UFM AF is the latest addition to the fixed valve portfolio. This enhanced valve is part of the UFMPlus tray family, developed specifically for fouling services. UFM AF is a large valve with an umbrella shape that provides excellent fouling resistance, especially in combination with the following anti-fouling features:

  • Stepped outlet weirs
  • Sloped outlet weirs
  • Push valves

UFM AF is a premium anti-fouling valve with high hydraulic capacity and superior fractionation efficiency. It can be combined with enhanced downcomers to maximize capacity for a given tower diameter.

VG AF

VG AF trays are part of the VGPlus tray family and are particularly suitable for fouling applications. Tray decks can be equipped with either SVG, a standard fouling-resistant valve, or XVG, an extra-large fixed valve developed particularly for severe fouling services. Push valves and enhanced outlet weirs are usually applied to minimize the fouling accumulation on the tray decks. To maximize the mechanical resistance, even up to 14000 N/m2 (2 psi), these trays can be equipped with

The following features:

  • Shear clips
  • Through bolting panel connections
  • Downcomer spreaders

Anti-fouling structured and random grids

Mellagrid and MG40 AF

Mellagrid is a high-performance grid featuring:

Structured geometry for:

  • the highest de-entrainment efficiency
  • superior mechanical strength
  • good mass and heat transfer efficiency

Smooth surface for:

  • the highest fouling resistance
  • minimum residence time

Mellagrid can be manufactured with thick metal sheets when used in corrosive environments. It is suitable for cleaning via water and or steam jetting

Nutter Grid and F-Grid

Nutter Grid and F-Grid are the conventional type of grids extensively used before the launch of the Structured Grids. They are mainly available upon Customer request

VES liquid distributor

It is suitable for high liquid loadings in fouling applications. It can handle solid particles without compromising the drip point density for good distribution efficiency.
