VICO-Still®
Hexagonal mesh and accessories for refractory armouring
Costacurta’s
quality design and engineering expertise gained over many years
involvement in the oil, petrochemical and chemical industries
provides a sound basis for selection and process design of an
extensive range of droplet separators, mist eliminators and coalescers.
This
range of gas-liquid and liquid-liquid separators, gas-liquid distributors
and flow equalisers.
for horizontal or vertical vessels offer a solution for a wide
variety of separation problems.
Through
continued cooperation with university research institutes Costacurta
is able to develop fluid-dynamic studies for the optimization
of design, sizing and performance.
VICO-Tex®
Special mist eliminators, made from layers of mesh
specially arranged in a cellular structure usually supplied with
support grids for prevention of carry-over in any liquid-gas processing
operation to improve performance of distillation columns, vacuum
flashers, fractionating towers, absorbers, evaporators, cooling
towers and manufactured in a wide variety of materials.
VICO-Vane
Droplet separators for horizontal flow
installed in horizontal and vertical vessels. These are made with
vanes equipped with a variable number of pockets for draining
the separated liquid and used for removal of droplets mainly by
the inertial impaction mechanism. Used with particularly high
gas velocities or when the droplets conveyed by the gas may contain
small quantities of suspended solid particles or when they are
highly viscous and in cases in where the use of VICO-Tex®
is not recommended
VICO-Chevron
Droplet separators for vertical gas flow using parallel
moulded vanes with a shape that forces the gas to make a series
of changes in direction. The droplets are removed the same way
as VICO-Vane. Used to separate large droplets, which may contain
small quantities of suspended solid particles, or highly viscous
droplets. Normally fitted when the installation of VICO-Tex®
or VICO-Vane is not possible or not recommended
VICO-BSA
Filter candles comprising cage and coalescent filling
are for separating small droplets, down to 0, 3 microns, using
inertial impaction mechanism, direct interception and Brownian
movement. They must operate with particularly clean vapour streams,
so return very high separation efficiencies and suitable for process
fluids as used in absorption columns in sulphuric or phosphoric
acid plants or downstream of liquid ring compressors or in atmospheric
vapour effluent treatment plants
VICO-Spin
Axial flow cyclonic droplet separators provide excellent
separation by centrifugal force. They are made of a group of elements
whose number depends on the working conditions. They work with
a high gas velocity enabling the use of smaller vessels at high
working pressures and are only slightly affected by any changes
in gas flow and clogging caused by solids in the gas stream. Suitable
for installation in horizontal or vertical vessels.
Materials
most frequently used in construction cover stainless steels and
some special alloys such as Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hastelloy
and Carpenter 20 and pure Titanium etc
