SECTION 6.0 – SULZER STANDARD PRACTICES
GENERAL REMARKS
GENERAL REMARKS
There have been no reported problems with personnel safety or installation procedures with our
standard manufacturing processes. Completely smooth or rounded edges may require additional
grinding at an extra charge. Sulzer Chemtech uses automated punch press equipment with well-
maintained dies and tooling along with plasma arc cutting.
The equipment which we supply is all non-pressure bearing internals. Any specification applying to
pressure bearing equipment, including weld maps, does not apply. We will supply welding procedure
specification(s) and procedure qualification record(s) when specified in the purchase order. NDT and/or
Hydro testing do not apply to the scope of equipment which we supply.
CLEANING AND SURFACE TREATMENT
Equipment is fabricated using lubricating oils and will have some residual oil left on the surface. Steam
cleaning can be performed to remove the residual oil. If steam cleaning is required, please advise us
and the price will be supplied.
To ensure proper liquid spreading in aqueous services, equipment should be degreased to remove
residual oil from the fabrication process. Class 3 degreasing (oil content <100mg/m2) can be
performed as an extra service. If Class 3 or a more stringent degreasing is required, please advice us
and the price will be supplied.
EQUIPMENT
Unless specifically requested, equipment must be installed when the tower is in the vertical position. All
SULZER CONFIDENTIAL
performance warranties are void, if the equipment is installed or transported in the tower while situated
horizontally.
Unless specifically requested, the tower packing height and type of liquid distributor are specified based
on the assumption that there is no angular acceleration associated with motion during normal operation,
such as off-shore applications.
ORIGIN OF MATERIAL
As a global company, Sulzer acquires raw material globally. Our price and delivery time are based on
this condition. If specific country of origin is required for material, this may result in increased cost and
delivery time.
GLOBAL SOURCING
Sulzer Chemtech Ltd. is a company of the Sulzer Group, an internationally diversified Technology
Corporation. Companies belonging to the Sulzer Group (with a participation of 40% or more) are not to
be regarded as third parties or as subcontractors in connection with the present contract. Consequently
country of origin can vary from case to case.
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.
SULZER CONFIDENTIAL
DOCUMENTATION
Sulzer Chemtech will send drawings and documents in PDF format by e-mail. If this is unacceptable,
please notify us prior to order.

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.
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.
