Reliable Solutions for Fouling Resistance

Fouling in separation columns can lead to operational inefficiencies, including reduced throughput, flooding, pressure drop, and off-spec product. Koch-Glitsch’s anti-fouling solutions are engineered to combat these challenges with customized designs suited to these specific applications. With expertise across industries, such as refining, gas processing, and chemicals, we provide a portfolio of world-class anti-fouling products, including: 

  • PROFLUX® severe service grid: Minimizes solids buildup and extends operational cycles.
  • PROVALVE® tray: Enhances vapor-liquid distribution, reducing fouling risks and improving separation efficiency.
  • FLEXIPRO® valve: Offers better flow control and fouling resistance in high-solids applications. 
  • Model 758 Enhanced Vapor Horn: Improves vapor distribution, reducing the risk of coking and plugging. 
  • Model 985 Weir Trough Distributor: Optimizes liquid distribution, preventing localized fouling and improving reliability.
  • Parallel Plate Separators: Provide open spaces for fouling material to pass through the media, and is modularized to allow for easy removal and cleaning.

By integrating advanced designs with proven application expertise, we help improve reliability and economics for our customers.
