Characteristics:

• V-Grid tray technology utilizes a fixed valve
• Tapered, rectangular valves are extruded from tray deck
• Orientation of valves parallel to liquid flow
• Later vapor release through valves

Advantages:

• Lower froth height, less entrainment due to lateral vapor release
• Increased capacity and improved turndown compared to sieve trays
• High efficiency over a wide operating range through improved vapor-liquid contact
• Superior mechanical strength by increased stiffness of tray deck, no moving parts and therefore no wear
• Excellent fouling resistance

Smaller valves provide more capacity than larger ones due to reduced pressure drop and entrainment rate. To meet your requirements we offer following standard sizes: SVG, MVG and MMVG.

Note that MVG and MMVG valves are providing extra vapor capacity compared to sieve trays and other valve trays and are therefore used as high performance bubblers.

• Largest lateral openings available
• Produce a vapor cleaning effect on tray deck
• Excellent performance in fouling services

Mini V-Grid trays uses smaller valves than SVG

• Provides up to 20% higher capacity compared to standard sieve or valve trays
• Gives higher efficiency and lower pressure drop per theoretical stage
• Turndown capability is 3:1

• Micro V-Grid trays uses smallest available valve size
• Additional 7% higher capacity compared to MVG
• Used at extremely high vapor loads
