Flash-boxes

Flash-boxes are always installed at a column feeding point, when the inlet is overheated. Flash vapour may occur after entering into the column, which can affect the good functioning of the liquid distributor.

Two types of Flash-boxes are available:

Flash-box Type IN
Flash-box Type A





Flash-box Type IN


Flash-boxes type IN

Flash-box Type IN has been designed for smaller amounts of flash vapour occurring at overheated inlets. This type of flash-box can be installed inside the column near the inlet. Flash-box Type IN is suitable for columns with a diameter from approx. 900 mm.


Flash-box Type A

Flash-boxes type A

Flash-box Type A has been designed for higher evaporation rates. It is installed outside the column near the columnfeeding point: the overheated feed enters the box via a nozzle and is reduced tocolumn pressure inside the box. The flashvapour generated escapes through an misteliminator on top of the flash-box and is feed to the column through a piping system.The residual liquid is drained from the bottom at the box and flows to the feed nozzle of the column.


Support system Type G

Support system type G

Support systems serve as support for the structured packings. The support system Type G is suitable for columns of a diameter of <1000 mm. Two or more beams bridge the cross-section of the column. These main beams hold the greast rods on to which the packing is placed. It is designed so that all parts can be installed through manholes.


Support system Type K

Support system type K

The support system Type K for columns of a diameter of <1000 mm is of a one-piece design and is installed in the column through a shell flange connection. For diameters up to approx. 2500 mm the support system is of mulitsectional design and is installed through manholes. Cams on the column wall serve as a support and for fixation.


Liquid collector

Liquid collector

Liquid collector trays are arranged between two packing sections. Thus, the liquid trickling down is collected by the liquid collector tray and from here it can be returned to a liquid distributor. In the vicinity of the liquid collector tray it is possible to install liquid/vapour feeds or liquid/vapour draw offs.



Vapour distributor

Vapour distributor

Gas or vapour disrtibutors are used to achieve a uniform gas flow across the diameter of the column. The use of vapour distributors is recommended in the case of low vapour velocities and if distances between vapour inlet nozzles and packing are too small.
