Sieve Tray Towers
 |
The sieve tray scrubber is a highly effective contacting device
for applications requiring a low gas-to-liquid ratio. The design
consists of a number of perforated trays in a vertical cylindrical
tower. Liquid flows horizontally across the trays while gas flows
up through the perforated tray at high velocity creating a frothing
effect where the gas absorption takes place. The liquid then flows
through downcomer pipes to the lower trays. The number of trays can
vary depending on the application and efficiency required. Sieve
trays are best suited for absorption of highly soluble but volatile
compounds such as alcohols and other soluble organics as well as
some acid gases. This type of configuration minimizes water usage
while achieving maximum contaminant removal. Sieve trays are also
less prone to plugging than packed towers and can effectively remove
particulate down to 5 microns in size. |
Sieve Tray Scrubber Features:
- Capacities from 500 to 60,000 ACFM.
- Simultaneous removal of gases
and large particulate.
- Low fouling design reduces maintenance.
- Low water usage compared with
conventional packed scrubber.
- No recycle pump required. Unit operates
with once-though water.
- Corrosion resistant construction.
