Special internals

AFP Tech can provide internals like wire mesh candles, dryers or inlet distributors. These internals are generally made according to the customer's design and drawings.

CANDLES

sometimes it is necessary to treat a high gas flow but, at the same time, the diameter of the vessel is not large enough to ensure that the gas speed is lower then the allowed max limits. In this case, a candle can be the right solution since it provides the right surface for the gas flow, working with the right speed and reducing the vessel diameter.

DRYER FOR CYCLONES

this kind of vane pack is often used in “steam drums” and are located over cyclones to eliminate small liquid droplets drained by the vapour stream. Compared with wire mesh separators the thickness of these packs is lower so they are useful when the space available is limited. They can be produced with different shapes and profiles to obtain the best performances in terms of droplet separation and pressure drop.

FEED DIFFUSER

in general, processes require a correct distribution of the flow inside the tank. In special cases, such as for example before interiors like “wedge screens”, it is possible to use special flow diffusers. There are different types of feed diffuser and we can produce them according to the customer's project.
