1. Why Old Tower Parts Waste Your Money Many factories still use old types of tower packing, like Raschig rings. Think of these like drinking through a clogged straw. They cause several big problems: ● Wasting Energy: Old packing like Raschig rings makes it hard for liquids and gases to move through the tower. This means your pumps have to work extra hard, using way more electricity – sometimes 20% more! It’s like driving a car that guzzles gas. ○ Real Savings Example: One factory saved $500,000 a year on energy costs just by switching from old packing to Sutong's newer type! ● Breaking Down: Old parts, especially metal trays, can crack or corrode (rust) when they get too hot or are used with strong chemicals. When parts break, you have to shut down the whole process for repairs. This wastes time and money. ○ Real Problem Example: A fertilizer factory lost 18 days of work each year just fixing broken tower parts. ● Pollution Fines: Governments have rules about pollution. Factories need to reduce harmful emissions (like CO₂) and stop releasing toxic wastewater. Old, inefficient equipment often can't meet these rules, leading to big fines. 2. Sutong's Smart Solution: Save Energy, Stop Breakdowns At Sutong Technology, we create better tower internals that solve these problems. Our "Triple-Shield Solution" uses parts that are: ● Smarter (Use Less Energy): Our special "Wall-Flow-Free" structured packing has a unique design, like a honeycomb. It lets liquids and gases flow very easily – no more clogging! This cuts pressure drop in half, meaning pumps work less and you save lots of energy. It works much better than old Raschig rings. ○ Real Success Story: A big petrochemical company used our packing and could process 35% more material while saving over ¥9 million ($1.2 million USD) in energy costs per year! ● Stronger (Last Longer): Our KST-K Diamond Floating Valve Trays are built tough. They are made from special materials that resist heat and strong chemicals. They passed tests even from strict companies like Mitsubishi Chemical. ○ Client Feedback: One chemical company said, "After putting in Sutong's KST-K trays, we haven't needed any replacements in 8 years! It saved us ¥4.2 million ($580,000 USD)." ● Greener (Help the Planet & Meet Rules): Because our parts save energy, they help reduce your factory's carbon footprint. They also help make sure your processes meet tough environmental rules, avoiding fines. We also use smart computer tools (like Aspen Plus) to check how your tower is working and find ways to make it even better. We can even add sensors to watch the tower's health 24/7 and warn you before problems happen! (Note: How much you save can depend on your specific factory setup. Our engineers can help figure that out.) 3. Proof: How Sutong Helps Big Companies We don't just talk about good results – we deliver them!

Fixed valve trays are innovative devices used in industrial distillation processes, combining the best features of sieve trays and float valve trays. These trays are particularly recognized for their high resistance to fouling and their ability to handle polluted media.Discover how fixed valve trays can revolutionize your chemical processing and enhance operational efficiency. What Is A Fixed Valve Tray? A fixed valve tray is a type of distillation tray that features valves fixed in place, unlike movable valve trays where the valves can move with the liquid flow. These valves are often rectangular or tapered and are an integral part of the tray's structure. The valves are formed from the tray deck material itself, which adds to the tray’s strength and durability. Compared to traditional trays, fixed valve trays have higher resistance to fouling due to their design. This makes them suitable for various industrial applications where durability and efficiency are required, such as in chemical processing and refining. How Fixed Valve Trays Work In The Distillation Process Fixed valve trays are employed in the distillation process to separate mixtures based on component boiling points. When vapor rises through the column, it passes through the openings in the valves. These openings direct the vapor horizontally rather than vertically, which differs from how sieve trays operate. This horizontal deflection helps in creating a more stable froth layer. Moreover, this design reduces entrainment, where liquid droplets get carried up with the vapor. The controlled vapor flow leads to better contact between the vapor and liquid, enhancing the efficiency of the separation process. This makes fixed valve trays attractive for industries focusing on high-purity products. Key Components And Features Of Fixed Valve Trays Key components of fixed valve trays include the fixed valves formed from the tray deck and the perforated tray itself. The valves are oriented parallel to the liquid flow, allowing for smoother vapor-liquid contact. This setup offers advantages such as high capacity and efficiency. Another feature is the constant cleaning of valve openings. This self-cleaning characteristic reduces maintenance needs and prolongs the tray's operational life. Moreover, fixed valve trays have been found to have costs similar to sieve trays but are more cost-effective compared to movable valve trays. The tray spacing, such as 450-500mm, is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Advantages Of Using Fixed Valve Trays Fixed valve trays offer several significant benefits, including improved vapor-liquid contact, greater operational flexibility, and lower maintenance costs compared to other tray types. Improved Vapor-Liquid Contact For Better Separation Efficiency Fixed valve trays enhance vapor-liquid contact, which is essential for improving separation efficiencies in distillation columns and other similar processes. Sieve trays and bubble-cap trays allow vapor to rise through liquid in a column. However, fixed valve trays, with their unique design, ensure more uniform and consistent bubbling, increasing contact efficiency. For example, the V-Grid tray technology aligns the valves parallel to liquid flow, promoting better vapor distribution and interaction with the liquid. This leads to higher separation efficiency and better product purity. Enhanced Operational Flexibility And Control Fixed valve trays provide better control and flexibility in operations. Unlike moving valve trays, fixed valves remain stationary, which simplifies the control over vapor flow rates. Our valve tray offers an improved turndown ratio, allowing it to handle a wider range of vapor flows without compromising performance. This flexibility means that the system can adapt to varying process conditions, making it suitable for processes requiring frequent changes in operating parameters. Reduced Maintenance And Operating Costs Maintenance and operational costs are significant considerations in industrial processes. Fixed valve trays excel in this area due to their durable design and fewer moving parts. Unlike moving valves that can wear out or become dislodged, fixed valves are less prone to mechanical failures, resulting in lower maintenance costs. Additionally, the reduced pressure drop associated with fixed valves leads to lower energy consumption, making them more cost-effective in the long run. Comparison With Other Tray Types Fixed valve trays excel in certain areas compared to bubble cap trays and sieve trays. They offer unique benefits and specific limitations that are important to understand when deciding which tray type to use. Bubble Cap Trays: Bubble cap trays allow vapor to rise through risers into caps and out through slots, which bubbles through the liquid on the tray. Fixed valve trays, on the other hand, have valves punched out of the tray deck, allowing for more straightforward maintenance and potentially lower manufacturing costs. Bubble cap trays generally provide better liquid-vapor contact but are more complex to design and install. Sieve Trays: Sieve trays feature numerous holes that let vapor pass through, creating a simple and effective mass transfer device. Compared to fixed valve trays, sieve trays can experience higher entrainment at lower vapor flow rates. Fixed valve trays, by contrast, direct vapor flow horizontally, reducing this issue. Sieve trays offer high efficiency and are easy to clean but might not handle varying operational loads as flexibly as fixed valve trays. Advantages: ●Efficiency: Fixed valve trays offer good efficiency across a wide range of operations. They are effective at directing vapor flow to minimize entrainment. ●Cost: They tend to be less expensive due to their simpler design and lower manufacturing complexity. ●Maintenance: The fixed nature of the valves simplifies maintenance compared to bubble cap trays. Limitations: ●Flexibility: While they perform well under a range of conditions, they might not handle as wide an operating range as some advanced designs. ●Fouling: There can be issues with fouling, similar to sieve trays, which can impact performance over time. Conclusion Fixed valve trays significantly improve distillation processes by enhancing efficiency, reducing entrainment, and offering long-term reliability.

Effective maintenance practices ensure that these trays remain in good working condition, thus supporting the continuous and efficient operation of the system. Different Types Of Chimney Trays Bubble Cap Trays: These trays feature risers or chimneys fitted over each hole, topped with caps that allow vapors to rise through the chimney. The vapors are then directed downward by the cap and discharged through slots. This design ensures effective vapor distribution and contact with the liquid. ●Benefits: Promotes uniform vapor distribution, ideal for columns where consistent vapor-liquid contact is required. They are reliable and have a robust design. ●Drawbacks: Can be complex to manufacture and install. Maintenance can be more intensive due to the movable parts like caps and risers. Liquid Collectors: These trays help collect liquid between packed beds and trays, which can be used for total draw-off, partial draw-off, or redistribution. They support vapor distribution below packed beds and are typically equipped with troughs, boxes, and hats to manage liquid and gas flow efficiently. ●Benefits: Versatile use in various applications such as total and partial draw-off. They help in efficient liquid handling and consistency in vapor-liquid contact. ●Drawbacks: Implementation can increase the overall height of the column, which might not be suited for installations with height restrictions. Trough Collectors: These trays are optimized to reduce pressure head and are used for liquid accumulation and redistribution. Their design helps save column height and ensures smooth, even distribution of liquids within the system. ●Benefits: Excellent for saving column height and improving overall efficiency. They reduce pressure drops and help in smooth vapor and liquid flow. ●Drawbacks: May have limitations in handling very high liquid loads. Their efficiency depends on the precise design and installation within the column.
