ACHEMA preview: Koch-Glitsch
Koch-Glitsch leads the industry with innovative solutions to optimize the performance of large columns. Using advanced mechanical designs and technologies such as ported downcomer, sectionalized beam
To increase overall design accuracy and quality, Koch-Glitsch uses 3D modeling that allows its designers to see the physical dimensions of the equipment and understand how it fits in the context of the vessel and other design elements. The same real-view of a design is now available to Koch-Glitsch customers, who can review their projects with a virtual walk-through of their equipment design and see the actual size and space of the equipment in the vessel. Koch-Glitsch will have a 3D virtual reality station available at Achema so visitors can walk through a distillation column.
Koch-Glitsch’s latest development in its family of SUPERFRAC® trays is the SUPERFRAC® XT tray. Demonstrating unparalleled capacity and efficiency in several recent commercial applications, the SUPERFRAC XT tray is engineered for the most demanding fractionation services in large diameter towers, which often require complex multiple flow pass designs. In a retrofit application, a 28 ft [8.5 m] propane/propylene splitter was revamped with 6-pass SUPERFRAC XT trays, which increased overall tray efficiency to 94 percent. In other Ethylene and Propylene splitters, efficiencies of 92 to 100 percent have been demonstrated. An installation of the first ever 8-pass SUPERFRAC trays in a new 33.5 ft [10.2 m] Propane/Propylene splitter has been in service for 2 years. The trays exceeded design capacity and product purity from the initial start-up, and overall tray efficiency is above 90 percent.

Koch-Glitsch, a premier designer
Koch-Glitsch is a leader in this technology. Koch-Glitsch and TOYO Engineering are partnering to distribute TOYO’s innovative SUPERHIDIC distillation system. With a unique heat recovery configuration, SUPERHIDIC technology reduces energy consumption by more than 50% compared to conventional distillation systems.
