la AMACSAMACShasbeen designing and manufacturing fractionation trays and other column internalsfor over 25 years. In supplying new designs and replacement trays, the AMACSengineering department combines data from FR’ and our ‘own proprietary research and development. Extensive experiencein there ning and processindustries enables AMACS toreplace most existing trays, regardless of original manufacturer ‘Sieve trays are the most widely used masstransfer device due to their simplicity, versatility, capacity, and cost-effec- tiveness. AMACSincorporates the latest seve technology in accordance with industry practices and FRI tests. Our designs utilize features such as sweptback weirs, soped downcomers and multi-passand dual- ow arrangementsto ‘accommodate customer requirements. Valve trays designed and built by AMACS include anti-spin devices, twisted leg construction to resist dislodging, and crimped edges to prevent adherence to the tray deck. Options include contoured hole edgesfor ower pressuredrop ‘and multiple valve weights for uniform operation over wide ‘ow ranges. Rectangular,caged,and_ xed valvescan also be supplied Bubble-cap trays have numerousapplicationsin re ner- iesand gas plantsdue to effectivenessover abroad range ‘of ow conditions and low susceptibility to fouling by par- ticulatesand residues. AMACS provides standard and custom designsin numerousmateriais, gauges, and styles to meet the most stringent process and tumdown requirements, ‘Specialty Dual Flow Trays, with over 200 applications worldwide in distillation, absorption, stripping, and heat transfer,dual_ow traysare aproven mass transfer device capable of debottlenecking existing operations or downsizing new tower designs.Process Standards 1.
