SATURN® Technology
Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces Saturn®, a patented technology by Koch-Glitsch, designed to optimize the design of new distillation columns, particularly those with multi-pass crossflow trays. This technology aims to reduce the total installed cost by simplifying tower attachments and innovating tray design.
The document introduces Saturn®, a patented technology by Koch-Glitsch, designed to optimize the design of new distillation columns, particularly those with multi-pass crossflow trays. This technology aims to reduce the total installed cost by simplifying tower attachments and innovating tray design.
Key Features of Saturn Technology
- Cost Reduction: Saturn technology significantly lowers the total installed cost of new distillation columns.
- Innovative Design: The technology employs simple rings and eliminates the need for vertical bolting bars, which are traditionally used in crossflow tray designs.
- Efficiency and Reliability: Combines the high efficiency, capacity, and reliability of crossflow trays with the simplicity of dualflow trays.
Traditional vs. Saturn Approach
Traditionally, the design of new towers involved developing tray layouts followed by designing the support structure. Saturn technology reverses this by starting with a simple support structure and using an innovative tray mechanical design, thus capturing installation benefits and reducing complexity.

Advantages
- Reduced Complexity: By eliminating the need for complex support structures, Saturn technology reduces engineering, fabrication, installation, and welding time and costs.
- Ultimate Low-Cost Solution: Provides buyers with a cost-effective solution for new distillation columns.
