Column Trays & Tray Parts

New and replacement distillation trays, built to your column drawings or measured on site, plus loose tray valves, caps, clamps and manway fasteners for turnarounds.

Column Trays & Tray Parts

Each tray acts as one stage of separation: good vapour–liquid contact on every tray means fewer trays, lower energy use and a more stable column. We fabricate complete tray sets (decks, downcomers, weirs, beams, clamps and manways) to the original drawings or to a revamp design.

Large trays are trial-assembled on the shop floor before dispatch: a recent order of four dual-flow trays, 3.6 m diameter, was laid out and checked in our Senai workshop. For turnarounds we also supply valves, caps and fasteners in bulk.

  • Sieve, valve (fixed and moving), bubble-cap and dual-flow trays
  • Diameters to above 3.6 m, sectioned for manway entry
  • Tray valves, bubble caps, filter caps and clamps
  • Manway fastener assemblies in SS410 and Monel 400
  • Built to client drawings or site measurement
  • Trial assembly and dimensional check

Tray Types

Sieve Trays

Simple perforated decks: low cost, good fouling resistance, but a narrower operating range.

Valve Trays

Fixed or moving valves over the deck holes: wide turndown and good efficiency. The most common choice for new columns.

Bubble-Cap Trays

Caps over risers hold liquid at low vapour rates: excellent turndown but the heaviest and most expensive type.

Dual-Flow Trays

No downcomers, vapour and liquid share the same holes: high capacity and fouling resistance.
