Key characteristics
Shell ConSep™ trays utilize the principle of de-entrainment by centrifugal force to exceed the gravitational limitation of jet flood.
The Shell ConSep trays combine the large bubbling area and liquid handling capacity of the contacting Shell HiFi™ trays and a centrifugal separator in a single stage: Con(tact) and Sep(arator)
Ideal for increasing existing plant capacity (revamps)
Suitable mainly for 1-to-1 revamping of towers equipped with high performance trays
Does not require any welding to the tower wall
Provides up to 40% more capacity than any high performance tray
