(9a) A Next Generation Moving Valve Device

The FLEXIPRO valve tray provides high capacity, excellent separation efficiency and a wide operating range up to 5:1, which is well into the range traditionally associated with moving valve trays. This presentation will introduce a new floating version of the FLEXIPRO valve which provides the same high tray efficiency across an even wider operating range. We will showcase how the floating FLEXIPRO valve tray is an easy drop-in replacement for all existing, earlier generations of moving valves. The performance will be demonstrated including capacity and efficiency data from pilot plant testing and illustrated with example of commercial usage cases.
