01 Outdated tower internals bleed profits
01-1 Energy Waste in Separation Processes: A Silent Profit Killer
Separation processes, such as distillation, absorption, and extraction, are critical in industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment. However, outdated tower internals and inefficient packing materials are silently draining profits. According to the Chemical Engineering Journal (2024), separation processes account for 40%-70% of industrial energy consumption, making them a prime target for optimization.
01-2 Three Major Profit-Draining Issues of Old Equipment
1. Pumps Overworking
Traditional packing materials, such as Raschig rings and random packing, cause high pressure drops (up to 3×10⁻⁴ MPa/m). This is akin to drinking through a clogged straw, forcing pumps to work harder and increasing energy consumption by 20%.
Solution:
2. Frequent Breakdowns
Old trays and internals are prone to cracking under high temperatures (>300°C) or corrosive environments (e.g., sulfuric acid). This leads to frequent shutdowns and replacements every 2-3 years.
Example:
A fertilizer factory lost 18 days/year due to tray repairs, significantly impacting productivity.
3. Green Law Fines
New environmental regulations demand a 30% reduction in CO₂ emissions and zero toxic wastewater by 2025. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to $1M/year. Outdated equipment often fails to meet these standards, exposing companies to financial and reputational risks.
01-3 The Path to Efficiency
By upgrading to advanced tower internals and structured packing, companies can address these challenges head-on. Sutong’s innovative solutions, such as IMTP packing and high-efficiency trays, not only reduce energy consumption but also enhance operational reliability and compliance with environmental regulations.
