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:
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:
