Trays and Packings

Trays

trays

We offer the complete range of mass transfer trays most widely used in the industry i.e. Valve, Sieve, Bubble-cap & Baffle Trays. We have supplied all types with single as well as multi-pass downcomers, and in both Segmental and Cartridge construction.

Valve trays give the advantage of higher efficiency and capacity over Bubble cap trays and a higher turndown ratio compared to Sieve trays. Various types of valves are available to take care of different conditions like; high capacity, high turndown ratios, fouling service, very low liquid or very high gas rates etc.

Sieve trays are flat perforated trays, which give the advantage of low maintenance cost and low fouling tendency.

Bubble Cap Trays are also flat and perforated but have fixed risers over the holes and multi design caps in the form of inverted cups over the risers, giving them the benefit of having an almost unlimited turn-down ratio.

Our design team is well experienced in tower rating, and can select or advise you on the type of tray most suitable for the given conditions. Design of each type of tray is done judiciously by selecting the right type of valve, cap, hole diameter, open area etc.

Tower Packings

Medal Pack

medal pack

Medal-Pak or metallic saddle (identical to Norton Type IMTP) is one of the latest generations of random packing. This packing gives the best of both the worlds in terms of performance (i.e. low-pressure drop and high efficiency). Hence it can be used effectively in both high pressure as well as vacuum towers.

Some of its other advantages include large effective interfacial area, high mechanical strength (its monolithic construction overcomes the problem of "opening out" at ends as experienced in ring shaped packings) and low cost.

It is available in various sizes, which give different combinations of efficiency and pressure drop. Medal-Pak is available in a variety of metals like: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper, Aluminium, Titanium and Zirconium.

The following sizes are available: No.15, No.25, No.40, No.50, No.70

ITEM Piece Density (pcs/m3) Surface Area (m2/m3) Voidage (%) Packing Factor
Medal-Pak # 15 347500 291.3 95.6 51
Medal-Pak # 25 135000 225.8 96.6 41
Medal-Pak # 40 50000 150.8 97.7 24
Medal-Pak # 50 15000 100 98 18
Medal-Pak # 70 4625 60 98.5 12

In addition to the above, we also supply the complete range of traditional random packings from Pall Rings to Saddles to Hy-Pak & Snowflake equivalents in a wide range of metals, plastics & ceramics.

ME II Structured Packing

ME11 structured packing

ME-II structured packing exceeds the performance of almost all other structured packing due to its exceptional liquid-spreading characteristic and excellent efficiency/capacity combination.

Due to its double-corrugated sheet construction with unique surface texturing, there are no dry areas even at low liquid rates. Hence it gives enhanced mass transfer and lower HETP.

It is available in various sizes giving the following surface areas: 500 m2/m3, 350 m2/m3, 250 m2/m3, 170 m2/m3, 125 m2/m3, 90 m2/m3.
