The invention relates to a packing assembly for a material exchange column, comprising at least one structured packing plate and a container in which the at least one structured packing plate is arranged. The at least one structured packing plate has packing packets. Each packing packet has interconnected packing sheets. The packing sheets are corrugated and have corrugation peaks and corrugation valleys. Adjacent packing sheets contact each other at the corrugation peaks. Additional corrugated packing sheets are added between the packing packets such that the at least one packing plate is pretensioned against the container in a radial direction thereof. Both the corrugated packing sheets of the packing packets as well as the additional corrugated packing sheet added between the packing packets are arranged solely on a common preferred plane or parallel thereto.

Packing assembly, material exchange column, and method

Helically coiled heat exchanger for the indirect exchange of heat between a two-phase first medium and a second medium has a shell surrounding a shell space, which extends along a longitudinal axis, an inlet for the admission of the two-phase first medium into the shell space, a tube bundle arranged in the shell space and having multiple helically coiled tubes for accommodating the second medium and a separating device for separating a gaseous phase from a liquid phase. The separating device has a tray arranged above the tube bundle which serves for collecting the liquid phase. The tray has a plurality of chimneys for separating the two phases. Each chimney projects from the tray from a side of the tray facing away from the tube bundle and is covered by a roof. An opening in the tray between the roof and an upper end of the respective chimney, there is provided an inlet opening via which the gaseous phase can flow into the respective chimney.

Separating device for coiled heat exchangers for separating a gaseous phase from a liquid phase of a two-phase medium conveyed on the jacket side

A device for introducing fluid medium into a container, the device including a container for receiving the medium and a pipeline for introducing the medium into the interior of the container. The pipeline has a pipeline section arranged in the interior of the container having a hollow cylindrical casing that extends along a cylinder axis of the pipeline section. The casing has an opening on a lower face that faces downward for introducing the fluid medium into the interior of the container. The opening includes two first edge portions extending along the cylinder axis and two opposing arc-shaped second edge portions that connect the two first edge portions to each other. A plate-shaped impact element is fixed to the casing and arranged below the opening so that the fluid medium that flows out of the opening strikes the impact element.

Device for introducing a fluid medium into a container

The invention relates to a column having: a shell, which is extended along a longitudinal axis and encloses an interior of the column, at least one mass transfer tray, which is extended along a column cross section, extending transversely to the longitudinal axis, of the column, and at least one liquid distributor, which is designed to feed the at least one mass transfer tray with a liquid phase. In accordance with the invention, the mass transfer tray has a plurality of runoff elements extending parallel to and at a distance from one another, more particularly in the form of angular profiles, which are each extended along the column cross section, where the runoff elements each have first and second runoff surfaces extended along the column cross section, and where the two runoff surfaces converge along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the liquid distributor and meet, and in so doing form an edge extended along the column cross section, and where the liquid distributor is designed to apply the liquid phase to the edges of the runoff elements, so that the liquid phase applied to the respective runoff element flows off from the respective runoff element via the runoff surfaces at both sides of the respective edge.

Column with angular profiles

A process for removing a petroleum spirit fraction and also an oil fraction from a cracking gas stream in an oil scrub column, wherein, the ratio of the amount of substance of the petroleum spirit fraction recycled into the benzene section at the top per unit time to the amount of substance of the cracking gas introduced into the oil section per unit time is in a range from 1:16 to 1:10, preferably 1:12 to 1:10.

Process for the purification of a cracking gas stream in an oil scrub column

An oil scrub column having a petroleum spirit section and an oil section where each section has mass transfer trays having a plurality of runoff elements that extend parallel to and at a distance from one another, to form angular profiles. The runoff elements have first and second runoff surfaces that converge to form an edge. Scrubbing media introduced onto the edges of the runoff elements flows off via the runoff surfaces at both sides of the edge. The oil section has a greater number of mass transfer trays than the petroleum spirit section. The petroleum spirit section is shorter than the oil section. The mass transfer trays of the petroleum spirit section may be sieve trays, bubble trays or valve trays.

Oil scrubbing column

The invention relates to a column comprising a jacket that bounds at least a first jacket space (M) and a second jacket space arranged thereabove along the longitudinal axis (L). The e first jacket space is separated from the second jacket space by a gas-permeable first chimney tray. A gaseous phase flows upward into the first jacket space, through the first chimney tray into the second jacket space, and then flows upward into the second jacket space. In the first jacket space the gaseous phase (M), in counter-current flow, contacts a first liquid washing agent, and in the second jacket space the gaseous phase, in counter-current flow, contacts a second liquid washing agent. The first chimney tray has a separator for separating the second washing agent, which separates the second washing agent (W') and directs it into the second jacket space. The invention further relates to an apparatus comprising the column and a method for separating COfrom a gaseous phase.

Column

The invention relates to a column, with a jacket, extending along a longitudinal axis, which jacket bounds a first jacket space and a second jacket space arranged over it along the longitudinal axis, a chimney tray, extending crosswise to the longitudinal axis, that separates the two jacket spaces from one another. The at least a first chimney extends from the tray along the longitudinal axis, and projects into the second jacket space. The chimney has a peripheral wall defining an opening, via which the two jacket spaces are connected to one another for gas feed, and a chimney top. On the peripheral wall, a flat impact element is arranged tilted toward the longitudinal axis in such a way that a liquid phase flowing downward from the chimney top along the longitudinal axis strikes the flat impact element diminishing the momentum input of the liquid phase that stands on the chimney tray.

The invention relates to a device (column) for bringing about a phase contact between a liquid phase and a gaseous phase, in particular a material exchange column, comprising: a shell, which extends along a longitudinal axis and bounds a shell space, at least a first circular tray, arranged in the shell space, for taking up the liquid phase, which extends crosswise to the longitudinal axis, whereby the at least one first tray has through openings for passage of a gaseous phase, so that the gaseous phase can come into phase contact with the liquid phase that is located on the at least one first tray. According to the invention, a large number of sealing weirs projecting from the first tray along the longitudinal axis are provided, which extend in each case along a radial direction of the at least one first tray, so that the first tray is divided into a corresponding plurality of sectors. In addition, the invention relates to an apparatus comprising such a device and a floatable carrier.

Device for bringing about a phase contact between a liquid phase and a gaseous phase, in particular a heat and mass transfer column

The invention concerns a fluid-distributor for a substance-exchange column, the fluid-distributor comprising at least one main duct and a plurality of distributor ducts. The distributor ducts are connected for flow purposes to the main duct and are provided with fluid-discharge openings. In order to attain particularly high-quality distribution, the effective length (L) of the fluid-discharge openings is smaller than their diameter (D).
