 Sulzer Chemtech Standard Trays

Float Valve Tray BDH™

All advantages of a conventional valve tray plus:
· Improved liquid flow due to lateral vapor release
· No liquid flow under valve at tray inlet
· Improved capacity and turn-down
· No valve rotation and wide legs reduce wear
· Top side valve replacement
BDP Float Valves available for replacement and on special
request

 Sulzer Chemtech Standard Trays

V-Grid Tray SVG™

A fixed valve tray combining attributes of sieve and valve
trays:
· No moving parts, no wear
· Improved liquid flow due to lateral vapor release
· Improved capacity and turn-down compared to sieve tray
· Intimate contact of vapor and liquid provides high efficiency
· High resistance to fouling
· Increased stiffness of tray deck
LVG V-Grid Trays only available for replacement

Tray 6
 Other Standard Trays

Also offered as standard products for new installation or

replacements:

· Sieve trays
Tray 7
 High Performance Trays

Mini V-Grid: MVG™

An improved V-Grid tray-deck with smaller openings
providing:
· Superior capacity compared to standard sieve or
valve trays
· Equal capacity and higher efficiency than small hole
sieve trays
· Good liquid flow due to lateral vapor exit
· High turn-down capabilities (up to 4:1)
· Proven performance by FRI tests
· All other advantages of V-Grid trays

· MVG in combination with:

- Sloped, truncated or multiple downcomers
- Allows for application specific optimal designs

 High Performance Trays

VortexTray™
A multiple downcomer design with many advantages
· Circular downcomers:
- Provide optimal use of downcomer area
· Vortex Baffles with chimneys:
- Improved vapor disengagement
- Reduced downcomer choking
· Longer weirs:
- Lower tray pressure drop
- Reduced downcomer back-up
· No downcomer seal area:
- Increases active tray area
· Downcomer design will not partition inter-tray space
- Vapor and liquid flow equalization for high efficiency
