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.
