Mobile Valve Tray
Fixed Valve Tray
The Mobile Valve Tray is a flat perforated plate, with each perforation equipped with a movable disk. At low vapor rates, the disk may settle intermittently over the perforation and covers it to avoid liquid weeping. As the vapor rate is increased, the disk rises vertically. The height of restrictive valve legs or a caging structure determines the upper limit of open area.
The fixed valve tray is a low cost stationary assembly which imitates the shape of a valve. The fixed valves are directly extruded from tray deck. The absence of moving parts eliminates wear and sticking, but at the expense of lower turndown than other valve trays. However, the fixed valve tray can present higher turndown ratio and improved capacity than sieve tray.
Standard float valves are the pillar of valve tray configurations available today. They offer high turndown flexibility (5:1) and a choice of valve thicknesses to accommodate most requirements.
ESP Fixed Valves
ESP Float Valves ESP mobile valves can be round or rectangular and the different leg heights are available according to pressure and gas flow rates. Unlike the conventional float valve, our ESP Float Valve incorporates unique features that result in a very robust design to reduce valve loss, a built-in anti-rotation mechanism, easy in-situ replacement, fixed orientation for maximum turndown ratio. The table below summarizes the various types of ESP float valves that can be designed and supplied by Euroslot kdss.
ESP-DV (ESP-MDV)
ESP-RV
ESP-BV/CV
• Standard size for DV and high capacity design for Mini DV • Anti-rotation design • Very high turndown
• Rectangular form, parallel to liquid flow • No valve spinning, resistant to popping out • Similar capacity and efficiency to round valve
• Conventional round valve with three legs • Supplied for replacement or on request • Option: venture orifice for reduced pressure drop
ESP-SV
• Round valve with four snap-in legs • Available in most metal alloys • High turndown
ESP fixed valves, designed by Euroslot Kdss, are generally round, but could be other shapes like rectangular upon request of clients. Leg heights could also be customized. Our ESP fixed valve trays provide low liquid entrainment due to lateral vapor orientation compared to sieve trays. Below in the table ESP fixed valves are presented for meeting your project requirement. ESP mini fixed valve offers a low cost option, having a wider operating range than sieve trays. It is an intermediate solution between sieve and mobile valves. They offer a higher capacity than sieve trays by 10 ~15% and a slightly higher performance and flexibility compared to these last ones.

Baffle Trays
Euroslot Kdss is also capable of designing and supplying conventional trays besides ESP valve trays, such as, cage valve tray, sieve tray, bubble cap tray, dual flow tray, and baffle tray, etc.
These plates achieve high fouling in spite of their low effectiveness. They have large open areas approaching 50%, however an ESP high performance tray normally has an open area of less than 15%. Baffle trays are employed in applications requiring high capacity and low pressure drop. Contact between vapor and liquid is carried out when vapor passes through a curtain of liquid falling between trays or through liquid streams crossing the tray perforations. Three major types of baffle trays are:
Sieve Trays This perforated flat plate design probably provides the majority of installed tray types used in the process industry and are widely accepted due to their excellent operating characteristics, low cost investment and low maintenance requirements. This is the simplest design among the various tray types because there are no mechanical moving parts. Sieve trays are resistant to heavy fouling services and offer high capacities. However, their performances are ranked from low to moderate and the flexibility is very low.
Dual Flow Trays Dual flow trays don’t have weirs or downcomers thus vapor rate maintains the plate liquid level. Hole size will be defined for optimizing the performance. However, smaller holes can be plugged up more easily. Euroslot Kdss can fabricate specific dual flow trays called "Ripple ® Tray" licensed by Stone & Webster. These wave shape dual flow trays reduce fouling without disturbing the vapor/liquid distribution, and they are fabricated from perforated sheet with large surface area for vapor and liquid traffic. Experience has demonstrated that smaller holes achieve higher tray capacities at the same open area. This kind of trays has lower performances and flexibilities than conventional trays with downcomers. Nevertheless, these ripple trays have greater capacities and are high resistant to corrosion and fouling.
Bubble Cap Trays It is a well-tested device for use in many applications requiring high operating flexibility. It has been widely used since the 50’s, but less and less used due to a much higher cost than sieve or valve trays. Construction can be made suitable for leak-tight performance or for standard assembly methods, using a wide range of materials and designs. This type of devices proposes a very high flexibility (10:1). Bubble caps are available in a range of diameter from 30 to 200 mm.
Shed Decks Shed decks are essentially angle iron beams of various sizes from 50mm to 250mm that are placed in rows across the column. They are typically located at 610mm tray spacing. They may be set in overlapping rows or rotated 90 degrees from tray to tray.
Side to side trays The Side-to-side trays allow the liquid to splash from side to side. The decks can be sloped. Fouling resistance is high.
Disk and donut trays Disk and donut trays are slightly sloped trays that allow the liquid to splash from inner circle ring to outer circle ring. They have high fouling resistance.
Cartridge Trays This type of tray configuration is commonly used for small diameter columns, less than 900 mm. Installation and assembly of standard trays on site inside a column is not practical. Thus trays are pre-assembled into manageable cartridge packages. Then each cartridge package can be slide down by the open vessel flange.

High Performance Random Packing
ESP Plastic Rings
For more than a century, random packing has been successfully employed in distillation, absorption, stripping, heat transfer and scrubbing columns - an inexpensive means of increasing capacity and efficiency. Random Packing is recommended when pressure drop and residence time have no significant influence on column operation, such as in gas washing towers. Euroslot Kdss’s ESP random packing will match your budget and your performance needs. ESP Random Packing is an inexpensive boost to capacity and productivity. Regular availability of Euroslot Kdss random packing is a key benefit in unplanned downtime. In addition to our industry-leading ESP brand of products and components, we also manufacture a comprehensive range of industry-standard packing, built upon a history of well documented operational performance. Our random packing includes: Pall Rings (Thermoplastics, Metals), Raschig Rings (Ceramics, Metals) and Saddles (Ceramics, Thermoplastics).
reducing drag, maximizing mass transfer Our ESP range also includes high performance thermoplastic random packing that retains the basic slotted ring heritage, with an open skeletal structure. You could choose an enhanced version, designed to maximize available contact surface and mechanical strength. Its conical shape is proven to reduce drag, resulting in lower pressure drop while increasing accessibility to the inner surface. All designed to achieve higher mass transfer efficiency.
Random Packing Support Packing supports perform the following functions:
ESP Metal Rings
• Physically support the packed bed • Incorporate sufficient open area to allow unrestricted flow of liquid and vapor • Prevent downward migration of random packing pieces
third generation high performance, high capacity random packing The ESP Metal Packing is our range of high performance column packing. The basic shape bears resemblance to other high performance packing elements but with particular enhancements to improve randomness, liquid spreading and mechanical strength. The result is a robust and cost effective 3rd generation high capacity random packing solution. ESP Metal Packing can be supplied in most metallic materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, zirconium and high nickel alloys. Design integrity – hydraulic and mechanical - is all part of the ESP promise.

Liquid/Gas and Liquid/Liquid Separators
ESP Vane Mist Eliminators
Based on well established industry standard design concepts, our range of ESP Separator Internals have developed unique mechanical enhancements to ensure effective and reliable performance.
Specially profiled chevron style baffle plates are the secret of our ESP range of vane mist eliminators. These mist eliminators remove liquid droplets from a vapor stream by the inertial impact of droplets with the baffle plate. Meanwhile, the gas follows a zigzag path bet ween the baffles.
Rigorous separation efficiency and capacity modeling takes full account of both equipment geometry, as well as system physical properties, to further enhance their performance.
Vane mist eliminator provides higher capacity of handling gas load. Moreover, if vanes are installed in a horizontal flow instead of vertical gas flow, it can handle still higher gas velocities. It is less efficient in removing very small droplets compared to mesh type. Standard design is for removal of droplets larger than 30 µm, and we can propose special design of high efficiency for removal of droplets around 15 µm.
Liquid/Gas Separator :
ESP Mesh Mist Eliminators Features include:
The most common mist eliminator used in production is the knitted-wire-mesh type. The mesh mist eliminators include a pad of knitted wire mesh packed between two rigid grids to provide support. Liquid droplets are collected on the wires and the vapor flows up through the pad. The liquid drains from the mesh because of gravity.
• • • •
Our ESP high efficiency knitted mesh pads can be used for many services. A necessary pad area is proposed from our hydraulic calculation based on the requirements of your process, and then the best configuration will be designed suitable for the dimensions of the separator to get the maximum efficiency. They can be circular, rectangular, cylindrical, V-shaped, etc. They can remove 100% of liquid droplets larger than 5 µm in diameter.
No Drainage Channels Open Drainage Channels (Single Pocket) Enclosed Drainage Channels (Double Pocket) Fouling resistance can be accommodated within the range.

ESP Plate Pack Coalescers
All are offered with top and bottom grids and fixing hardware.
Liquid-Liquid separators are commonly employed to remove oil or other hydrocarbon components from water. Euroslot Kdss can provide you the plate coalescer design to aid in coalescing oil droplets in the water and water droplets in the oil. If your process requires the separation of two or three phases, ESP Coalescers perform very effectively.
Designed and manufactured for easy installation and removal for maintenance, ESP Coalescers are well proven across many applications. The following list summarizes some ESP types of mesh mist eliminator designed and supplied by Euroslot Kdss.
