Fractionation Tower Internals

ACS Industries, LP, Separations & Mass-Transfer Products Divison has extensive experience in providing total solutions for process column applications.

Process columns, towers, vessels, and drums often have unique manway or internal access challenges, as well as variable operating liquid, vapor, and temperature level ranges that all require special consideration when designing, fabricating, and installing process internals. 

ACS designs and fabricates a full range of custom tower internals for your process requirements. 

ACS offers one of the industry's most complete lines of replacement-in-kind, non-pressure retaining, process tower internals.  

Lateral and Spray Distributors

Lateral and Spray DistributorsBasic liquid distributors for tray and random packed towers.

Orifice Riser Distributor

Orifice Riser Distributor

Traditional small column diameter liquid distributor style. 

Trough Distributor

Trough Distributor

Most common moderate to high liquid loading liquid distributor style.

 

ACS High Performance Distributors

ACS High Performance Distributors High performance liquid distribution design options are available.  Improved specialty side troughs are available when extremely low liquid density makes distribution critical to column performance.

Chimney Trays

Chimney TraysTraditional liquid re-distribution chimney trays for all tower applications.

ACS / Montz Liquid Distributors

ACS / Montz DistributorsMontz holds several patents in liquid distribution design.  Both ACS in Houston and Montz in Germany liquid flow test every liquid distributor made to ensure quality and flow distribution.  Liquid distributor testing at ACS Houston is offered at no extra factory cost.

ACS AccuFlow™ Inlet Diffusers

ACS AccuFlow Inlet DiffusersWhen liquid or mixed phase inlet velocities exceed laminar flow ranges, specialty inlet diffusers are needed to ensure the other process internals are allowed to work properly and efficiently.  ACS sizes and designs diffusers for new vessels and retro-fit applications.  Most retro-fit designs do not require welding to the existing vessel shell. 

Bed Supports and Limiters

Bed Supports and LimitersACS offers a complete line of multi-beam gas injected supports for random packed beds, and the traditional grating support styles for structured packed beds.  ACS also offers the associated bed limiters with traditional expanded metal grating to hold random packing in place during startup and during slight column upsets.
