TRITON® High Capacity Fractionation Trays

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the TRITON™ high-capacity fractionation trays developed by Koch-Glitsch, highlighting their superior performance compared to conventional trays. These trays are designed to increase throughput, improve efficiency, and reduce pressure drop in fractionation columns.

Key Features:

Substantially greater capacity than conventional trays.
Equal or better efficiency in tray-for-tray revamps.
Mechanically robust and easy to install.
Available in both metal and plastic materials.

Innovative Design:

The patented downcomer design maximizes the active bubbling area, enhancing vapor capacity.
The forward-lateral vapor release inhibits fouling, maintaining a clean tray deck.
High valve lift minimizes pressure drop, allowing for higher vapor rates.

Performance Advantages:

TRITON trays can replace conventional valve trays on a one-for-one basis, minimizing installation costs and downtime.
The PROVALVE® fixed valves optimize bubbling and liquid flow, preventing uneven vapor distribution and jet flooding.
The trays are mechanically robust, reducing maintenance demands and the risk of fouling or damage.

Graphical Data:

Figures demonstrate the capacity gain and efficiency improvements of TRITON trays over conventional trays, showing lower pressure drops and higher efficiency at total reflux conditions.
