Trayed Tower – TRU-SCAN®
Benefits
of a TRU-SCAN®
- On-line hydraulic measurements
- Reveals flooding, entrainment, foaming, weeping, tray damage
- Measure tray liquid levels
- Evaluate operating condition options
Many problems can cause a loss of efficiency in a distillation column
such as flooding, tray damage, entrainment weeping, and plugged
downcomers to name a few. TRU-SCAN®
measurements are a powerful tool that can be utilized to locate the origin
and/or severity of these problems. A TRU-SCAN® across the active area
of a fractionation tray can provide hydraulic conditions and/or mechanical
status of the active area, like entrainment, weeping, and tray froth heights. A scan through the tray downcomers provide hydraulic and/or mechanical
status based on the level of liquid measured in the downcomers.

The TRU-SCAN® can provide information to plant personnel that will
give them confidence to choose the lowest cost option for remediation
of the column’s problem.
