Crating

Export Style Crating:

Our export crating of trays and column internals is constructed from solid wood boxes
lined with plastic. Crates have a typical width of 46 inches (1,170mm) and height of 36
inches (915mm). The length of the crates is varied based on the size of the parts for a
specific job. Bottom and side stiffening boards are placed inside the frame members to
prevent dislodging during shipment. The crates are secured by staples and steel banding.

Spare Parts

Following spare parts for installation are already included in our offered price.

Fasteners (Bolts, Nuts, Clamps, Wedges, etc.) 5%

Considering that our scope of supply is for static equipment, no spares are required for
normal operation. However, in case you require a proposal of such parts for shut-down and
maintenance planning we can send this after completion of detailed engineering as part of
the project documentation package.

3 SULZER PRODUCT INFORMATION
Wire Mesh Mist Eliminators

Our mist eliminators have an excellent track record as a low cost, highly versatile and efficient method
of removing liquid entrainment from gas streams. They can be used for a broad range of gas/liquid
separation problems, and can be easily tailored to suit most vessel shapes and sizes.

Key Characteristics
 Manufactured as a knitted wire mesh packing
 Can be easily tailor-made to suit most vessel shapes
and sizes
 Cost effective and versatile solution for most mist
elimination applications
 Efficient functionality

Efficient Functionality
Sulzer wire mesh mist eliminators are produced as a bed of knitted mesh that presents a tortuous path
and large surface area to the droplets entrained in the gas stream. Separation is achieved by
impingement on, and capture by, the filaments of the mesh where the droplets coalesce and drain.
Standard designs are available for routine applications, providing excellent separation efficiency down
to droplet sizes as small as 2 μm, and with a pressure drop typically less than 2.5 mbar.

Broad Range of Applications

 Scrubbing systems and absorbers
 Evaporators
 Steam drums
 Knock-out pots

Easy and Flexible Installation

Installation can be performed in several ways, but the gas flow is usually either vertically upwards,
with the liquid draining counter current to the gas flow, or horizontal, with the liquid draining in a
direction perpendicular to the gas flow.

Most wire mesh mist eliminators are supplied complete with rigid support grids, which allow direct
installation onto appropriate supports such as beams and rings within the vessel. Sectional installation
allows ease of handling and access through vessel man ways. Accessories such as tie wire, bolting,
clamps and support beams can be supplied where necessary.

Sulzer VSIR Distributor / Collector Tray:

Sulzer utilizes the VSIR distributor / collector

in columns where collection and distribution of
relatively high liquid loads is required over the
entire cross sectional area, most typically over
random or structured packing beds. The
VSIR style includes curl tubes instead of
ground holes to help resist fouling.

The VSIR resembles a chimney tray, and may

have round or rectangular risers. The
upflowing vapor passes through the chimney
risers and is segregated from the liquid which
collects in the pan outside of the risers. The
segregation minimizes entrainment of liquid with the vapor for good separation performance. Curl
tubes are mounted to the inside wall of the risers, and fed from the tray through elevated orifices drilled
into the riser wall. The liquid is then distributed over the packing below through the curl tubes.

The VSIR and other orifice pan distributors lack the means to hold liquid on the distributor deck, making
normal distributor level testing in the workshop impossible. Flow testing the VSI-type distributors
requires special accommodates where a mock-up of the column section is constructed to simulate the
tower wall and to allow a liquid level to be established.

Sulzer RPB & GIS Random Packing Support Plates:

The support plate is used with random packings and serves as a gas injection tray to distribute the
gas to the bottom layers of packing.
The random packing is dumped directly
over the support plate, to settle within the
valleys of the structure. In this way, the
RPB acts as a support grid for the random
packing elements, with a large open area to
allow gas injection and distribution.
Perforation size and number, as well as
overall crimp height is dependent on process conditions and required support load. The RPB typically
rests on a support ring, welded to the column wall.

Form CTP05898 R17 10-16-19

Page 12 of 13
Sulzer RPBTM Random Packing Bed Limiter:

The RPB is used with random packings and

serves as a bed retention device to prevent
migration of packing elements above the
bed.
The RPB consists of wire mesh welded to the
underside of grid frames, and may be either
suspended from a liquid distributor above it
or bolted to a support ring welded to the
column wall.
