Valve Tray
Like sieve trays, valve trays have been in use as far back as the 1950’s but nowadays have become the more popular choice because of their greater operating range properties. With our technical expertise in design, manufacturing, and installation, a well designed valve tray generally provides the most economically attractive solution for grassroots column construction projects. Valve trays combine high capacity and excellent efficiency with a wide operating range. Using proprietary design techniques and wide range of valve types available for valve trays, design engineers at Saiptech can assist you in optimizing performance for your application.
Fractionation trays are fabricated from a wide variety of materials. When corrosion is expected to be extremely low and design temperatures are not excessive, carbon steel is a logical choice because of its favorable mechanical design properties, malleability and low cost. However, since the material of construction is dictated by the process of each particular system for which the trays will be used many different material types may be required because of unique properties which allow some mate to have resistance to corrosion and to maintain their mechanical strength at elevated temperatures.
