Koch-Glitsch has deep expertise applying our liquid and vapor distributor design know-how for absorption and distillation applications, across a wide range of process fluids. Our capabilities include applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for solution development, flow testing, and mechanical design. Our domain expertise is directly applicable to the design of liquid distribution systems for media beds employed in direct lithium extraction, where uniform distribution is critical to ensuring maximum product recovery.
All of our projects are engineered to order based on the project requirements and operating conditions of the column. Our equipment can be validated with in-house flow testing to measure the coefficient of variation across the feed device.
