ULTRA-FRAC® trays from Koch-Glitsch are high-capacity commercial mass transfer devices that provide superior liquid and vapor handling and foam suppression.
The ULTRA-FRAC® tray is the highest capacity commercial mass transfer device tested at Fractionation Research, Inc. Its multiple separators produce co-current flow.
With ULTRA-FRAC® trays, existing columns can be retrofitted without welding to the vessel shell, resulting in significant capacity increases without the major capital expenditures and space requirements of building new columns. One-for-one change-outs of existing trays are possible for many services. For new grassroot vessels, ULTRA-FRAC® trays could offer significant reduction in vessel diameters, minimizing initial capital costs.
ULTRA-FRAC® trays offer:
- Superior liquid handling
- The unique operating principle provides capacity advantages
- Superior vapor handling
- Functioning as a deentrainer, ULTRA-FRAC® trays provide significantly higher vapor rates without degrading efficiency
- Foam suppression
- At low to medium liquid rates, ULTRA-FRAC® trays exhibit foam suppression capability
