MONTZ Flash-Boxes

System accessories for MONTZ-Structured Packings

Flash-Boxes are used at a column feed location for overheated feed. In this case, flashing vapor is formed at the feeding location, which would impede the liquid distributor’s function without flash boxes.

Type IN:

  • The Flash-Box Type IN is designed for moderate flash vapor quantities from overheated feeds. This Flash-Box is installed inside the column at the feeding location.
  • The Flash-Box Type IN is suited for columns up to app. 900 mm diameter

Type A:

Flash-Box Type A is intended for larger flash vapor rates.

It is mounted externally of the column in the vicinity of the feed-in location:
  • The overheated feed enters the box through a connection pipe and is depressurized to column pressure inside the box. The flash vapor formed flows through a mist collector located on top of the flash box and is directed to the column through a tube conduit. The remaining liquid drains from the box bottom to the feeding connection of the column.
