Plastic Tower Internals Guide
Koch-Glitsch’s dedication to state-of-theart mass transfer equipment has produced a complete line of plastic packed tower internals.This has been achieved by 20 years of testing and supplying INTALOX® Distribution Systems. By understanding the important role that liquid and vapor distribution plays, Koch-Glitsch can designpacked columns to deliver predictable performance. INTALOX Packed Tower Systems combine INTALOX liquid and vapor distribution with FLEXIPAC® Structured Packing, INTALOX SNOWFLAKE® and BETA RING™ High Performance Random Packing, and CASCADE MINI-RINGS® High Capacity Random Packing. Koch-Glitsch also offers traditional internals for packed towers used in less demanding services. Refer to pages 3 and 4for a discussion of the importance of liquid and vapor distribution and the requirements to consider when selecting INTALOX or traditional distributors. All internals described in this brochure can be manufactured from all formable and weldable sheet thermoplastics, including PTFE, and many thermosetting fiber-reinforced materials. Similar versions of many of the distributors described in thiscatalog are also available in a variety of metal materials. Contact your Koch-Glitsch representative to determine if there is a comparable metal packing and to request the metal packing brochure (KGMTIG). For column packings, the following brochures are available: • Plastic Packing - KGPP • IMTP® Random Packing - KGIMTP • Metal Random Packing - KGMRP

Materials of Construction and Mechanical Details
Plastic tower internals are available in thermoplastic [TP] andfiber-reinforced thermoset [TS] materials. Product model numbers are prefixed with the material type. For example, Model TP206 is the model number for a thermoplastic Model 206 orifice-pan liquid distributor. Common TP materials: • • • • • • • Polypropylene [PP] Polyethylene [PE] Polyvinylchloride [PVC] Chlorinated Polyvinylchloride [CPVC] Polyvinylidene Fluoride [PVDF] Polytetrafluoroethylene[PTFE] Ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene [ECTFE] Bolting Except for specific sizes for pipe flanges, all thermoplastic fasteners will be 1/2 in. [M12] unless otherwise specified. On TS models, the standard bolting is Polypropylene. Other thermoplastic or metal materials can be supplied. Ledge Clamps Ledge clamps can be supplied in thermoplastic, thermoset, or metal materials.The best choice for a...
