The company’s advanced tower and internals solutions leverage innovative technologies to meet challenging process requirements:
- High-efficiency distillation:
- Hybrid internals combining structured packing with random packing for complex separations (azeotropes, close boilers), achieving separation factors > 2.0.
- Rotating packed beds (RPBs) for intensified mass transfer (volumetric mass transfer coefficient > 1000 s⁻¹), reducing tower height by 50 - 70%.
- Fouling-resistant designs:
- Self-cleaning distributors with periodic back-flush systems (automated flushing every 8 hours), reducing maintenance downtime by 75%.
- Coated internals with anti-fouling coatings (Teflon, silicone), minimizing deposit formation in scaling services.
- Energy-efficient solutions:
- Heat-integrated distillation columns (HIDiC) with reboiler/condenser networks, reducing energy consumption by 15 - 25%.
- Low-pressure drop internals (structured packing with open area > 90%), minimizing compression energy requirements.
- Digital integration:
- Smart internals with embedded sensors (temperature, pressure, vibration), enabling real-time condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
- 3D-printed internals (selective laser melting for complex geometries), reducing lead time and enabling custom designs.
