TowerGARDTM Performance
|
Fine mist, created by mechanical shearing forces through tower packing,
can pass through conventional mesh pads and cause downstream
corrosion of valuable equipment. TowerGARD captures, collects and
returns the acid mist to the tower.
TowerGARD systems made with co-knit fibers
offer increased targets for slower/smaller droplets . These systems are
capable of handling turndown ratios of 50% or more, whereas conventional
pads are more limited .
ZeCorŽ-Z Corrosion Resistant Materials
Sulfuric acid plants using mesh pads in absorbing tower or drying tower
service have long been plagued by the relatively short life of stainless
steel, alloy 20 or even TeflonŽ mesh pads . Many plants replace such pads
every two or three years, and in some cases, every year . The best
corrosion-resistant alloy ever produced for protection against sulfuric
acid is ZeCorŽ-Z. Only MECS can incorporate this material into TowerGARD mesh pads.
