Smaller Towers

 

Because of the extremely high mass transfer rate, the same level of extraction can take place in half the tower height.

 

Half the tower height reduces:

• the number components to be shipped to site;

• the number of components to be assembled at site;

• the on-site labour costs;

• wind loading and structural loads on the tower;

• crane requirements for erection;

As a result, reduced loads allow towers to be manufactured with FRP (fibreglass) which:

• enables standardized production equipment at the factory;

• reduces weight further;

• reduces loads on trucks for transport;

• reduces corrosion issues;

• can be provided with factory custom linings for a wide range of solvents;

• reduces material and manufacturing costs of the tower;

Standardized, modular manufacturing processes enables:

• Tower selection by gas flow rate;

• Internals selection by solvent characteristics;

• Standard modules with custom internals;

• Simplified engineering design based on standard components.
