DAIER Tower Engineering FAQ

Pressure drop may increase due to excessive gas velocity, high liquid loading, packing fouling, blockage, liquid maldistribution or unsuitable packing selection. DAIER recommends checking operating conditions and packing performance before tower modification.

Flooding occurs when gas and liquid loading exceed the allowable capacity of the packing. Common causes include excessive gas velocity, high liquid flow, fouling and improper packing selection.

Tower packing selection depends on tower diameter, gas velocity, liquid loading, pressure drop requirement, separation duty and material compatibility.

Random packing provides flexible installation and good fouling resistance. Structured packing offers lower pressure drop and higher separation efficiency when high performance separation is required.

Tower capacity can be improved by optimizing packing type, reducing pressure drop, improving liquid distribution and upgrading tower internals when required.

Liquid maldistribution may result from improper liquid distributors, installation problems, insufficient redistribution or damaged tower internals.

Reduced separation efficiency may be caused by packing fouling, poor liquid distribution, packing damage, incorrect selection or changes in operating conditions.

Mist eliminator selection depends on gas velocity, droplet size, operating temperature, corrosion condition and required removal efficiency.

Engineers normally require: Tower diameter, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, operating pressure, temperature, packing type and application information.

Yes. DAIER supports tower revamp projects including packing replacement evaluation, tower internals solutions and preliminary engineering recommendations.
