AMISTCO Separation Products

Uniflo Inlet Diffuser
The Uniflo inlet diffuser corrects flow imbalances and improves gas distribution in new or existing separators and distillation towers. It removes liquids and solids from the gas stream, dissipates high inlet gas velocities, and evenly distributes the gas in the vessel, eliminating channeling problems and re-entrainment of the liquid droplets in the mist eliminator. It also prevents gas from jetting into the liquid and the associated entrainment problems. It can be designed for vertical or horizontal separators and is available in a variety of alloys. To simplify installation, it can be made in sections.

AMISTCO Improved Pall Ring (AIPR)
The AMISTCO improved pall ring (AIPR) allows greater capacity, lower pressure drop, and even and thorough gas and liquid bed distribution. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including gas dehydration, demethanizing, tall oil fractionating, CO2/H2S removal, high-vacuum distillation and vacuum crude stills. Although similar in outward appearance to Pall rings, AIPR packing offers more interior surface due to more twists and bends in the internal geometry. The manufacturer claims this geometric configuration creates greater gas/liquid contacting and 25–30% more transfer points per cubic foot than standard Pall rings. The AIPR’s high-strength geometry makes it well-suited for deep beds. The packing is available in a wide range of metal and alloy materials.

Profile Wire-Screen Filtration Products Brochure
This brochure describes the company’s profile wire-screen product line used to engineer catalyst bed supports, flat and curved sieve screens, inlet and outlet baskets, nozzles, complete hub and header lateral systems, center pipes, basket strainers, resin traps, and numerous other standard and inverted flow-filtration applications. Wedge Wire industrial screens are constructed of a series of V-shaped cold-drawn wire that is then cold-wound welded on perpendicular support rods to produce a smooth, structurally sound plug-resistant screen surface.

Separation Products - CD-ROM
This comprehensive CD-ROM provides a wealth of information and technical data about a variety of separation products. It covers mist eliminator theory and proper installation procedures for designs ranging from high-efficiency, double-pocket vane to submicron candle mist-eliminators. For liquid/liquid separations, coalescers and common applications in which they are especially effective are discussed. Random and structured packings, including the firm’s patented SuperBlend 2-Pac, as well as tower internals such as wedge-wire catalyst bed supports, reactor outlet baskets, trays and other components, are described and illustrated.

liquid/liquid coalescers
These liquid/liquid coalescers can be used to capture valuable solvents, to accelerate separation processes and to assist in environmental cleanup applications. The separation media include monofilament knitted mesh in numerous metallic and plastic materials, as well as corrugated plate packs, for high-velocity flow regimes or for liquids with entrained solids.

Tex-Grid grid packing
Capable of operating in harsh process conditions, Tex-Grid grid packing promotes high heat-transfer efficiency, while maintaining structural integrity and fouling resistance. Ideally applied to the refining, chemical process and steel production industries, Tex-Grid is easier to clean and return to service than random or corrugated packings. Its rugged welded-construction enables performance in dirty, high-temperature applications in refinery atmospheric and vacuum crude towers, fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) fractionators, coker units and ethylene quench columns. The packing is available in a range of stainless steels, including types 304L, 316L, 317L and 410. Additional varieties include carbon steel and materials suitable for welding.
