Tower internals
Principle of distillation
• The distillation tower has many trays
for crude oil fractionation
• By heat and mass transfer on the tray
valve area the crude oil is separated
into many products using the
upcoming steam from the reboiler
from the tower bottom.
• The condensate are repumped back
as a refluxes from tower top.
• Different product are separated
based on temperature gradient along
the tower
 PV internals
Tower internals
• The tower is
fabricated
considering the
trays fixation points
in the accurate
positions for each
tray
• The are a lot of
types of trays and
different types of
valves based on the
process
requirements

Separator internals
Principle of Separation
• The physical separation of gases and
liquids (hydrocarbon or water) or
solids is done by momentum, gravity
settling ,coalescing and equilibrium
• The fluid phases must have different
densities for separation to occur
 PV internals
Separator internals
• Vertical separator, effective for large quantities of mud and sand as
it has good bottom drain and clean out features
• Horizontal separator, effective for larger amounts of gas separation
as it has greater area of oil surface
 PV internals
Separator internals
• Two phase, separate gas from liquid.
• Three phase, separate gas from the liquid and the water from the oil.
• Scrubber, used for separation gas stream with little liquid content.
• Knockout, used to separate free water from a combined gas,
hydrocarbon liquid and water stream.
• Expansion vessel, gas is expanded for a cold separation application.

1. Baffle/ diverter

Use momentum
change for
separation
 PV internals
Separator internals
2. Mist extractor/ demister

Use coalescing and momentum change for

separation based on its shape

Separator internals
3. Vortex breaker
• Installed inside the Vessel
at the entrance of Bottom
outlet nozzle
• Used to avoid vortex
formation in liquid
discharge nozzles

Agitators & mixers
• It is used to mix or agitate the
products inside the vessel normally
by motorized driver
• Normally used for petrochemical
industries as it in usually required
continuance mixing

Lifting accessories
• The lifting accessories are used to safe lift
the vessels and it separately calculated
based on the vessel weight.
• The lifting accessory are lifting lug, lifting
trunnion, tiling lug and spreader beam.
• lifting lug and trunnion are usually
selected based on the weight.
 PV accessories
Lifting accessories
• For vertical vessels normally two lifting
lugs/trunnions are used, and they are
welded on the upper part of the vessel
• In addition to tailing lug and it used to lift
and guide the vessel during the lifting
process, and it welded on the skirt
 PV accessories
Lifting accessories
• For Horizontal vessels normally has two
or four lifting lugs/trunnions are used
base on vessel weight and dimensions,
and they are welded on the upper part
of the vessel.

Top davit, MH davit
• The davit is used to lift heavy objects
Such as the body flange, manhole flange or
at the top of the tower, it is normally
fabricated from pipes with suitable WT.

Insulation rings and fireproofing clips
• The insulation rings are clips welded on
the vessel (shell and head) and bolted
to flat ring to support the insulation
based on its thickness.
• Fire proofing clips are small clips
welded on the vessel support skirt or
saddles to support the fireproofing
