MaxiValve® trays
MaxiValve® is a technology from Clark Solutions that offers the industry, capacity similar to that of MaxiCap® bubblers with a much lower energy cost.
MaxiValve® valves can be fixed or mobile, depending on the “turn-down” (range of capacity variation) required in the column. Fixed MaxiValve® provide a turn-down of up to 50% and a head loss of 50-60% lower than that offered by bubblers, without loss of efficiency in mass transfer.
Benefits of using MaxiValve®:
- Spine capacity increase;
- Reflux reduction;
- Lower steam consumption in the refiner;
- Columns designed to use MaxiValve® or structured filling have a smaller diameter and height than perforated or bubbling columns, saving investment.
Product Applications
Whether fixed or mobile, MaxiValve®’s will always provide substantial energy or capacity gains when compared to bubblers or perforated plates.
MaxiValve® trays are recommended when
- Gain operational flexibility compared to fixed valves or perforated trays;
- Low fouling systems.
Several typical applications
- Column A in the sugar and energy industry;
- Columns designed to use MaxiValve®’s or structured filling have a smaller diameter and height than perforated or bubbled columns, saving investment.
