Celebrating a century of mass transfer innovation
At Koch-Glitsch, the culture of innovation has been going strong for 100 years with
brands that set the standards and are the preferred technology in the industry
F
or many years, equipment designers
searched for the ultimate mass transfer
device - one that could be used for any
application. Over time, they reached the
conclusion that there is no single device
for all applications; rather, there is always
a device that has distinct benefits and
characteristics that make it the most suitable
to meet the requirements for a particular
application.
Koch-Glitsch put decades of practical
knowledge, innovative thinking, and
tremendous expertise into research and
testing that led to the development of a
comprehensive product portfolio. The line
of products includes high-performance
trays, random packing, structured packing,
and severe-service grid to address the
needs of plant operators.
Koch-Glitsch set the standards with
IMTP random packing and FLEXITRAY valve
trays, which were the preferred technology
in the industry for many years.

PROVALVE trays provide reliable unit operCHEMICAL

ations in severe operating conditions, such
as fouling, coking, erosion, corrosion, and
frequent upsets.
In new columns, high-performance
trays can reduce vessel diameters,
heights, or both. In existing columns, they
can increase capacities, reduce utility
costs, and improve separations.
INTALOX ULTRA random packing provides
higher capacity and efficiency and
lower pressure drop compared to previous
generations of random packing. It is
applied in acid gas removal, demethanizer/
de-ethanizer, sour water strippers and
atmospheric and high-pressure distillation.
Koch-Glitsch continues its long tradition
of innovation in developing new
equipment designs that provide higher
efficiency, higher capacity, improved plant
performance, and increased reliability
yielding significant capital and energy
savings.
