Corrosion and leakage in tray-type towers
Thread Content
1 Is there a horizontal gap at the contact surface between the tray and the tray support, causing corrosive hydrocarbons to be blown vertically toward the surface of the tower, resulting in perforations and leaks? What is the probability of such an event? How to avoid it? 2 For towers with significant corrosion, is it possible to provide internal protection for the welds? For example, by covering the weld surface to reduce contact?
Such phenomena seem unlikely to occur; towers are usually static equipment used in chemical production and operate stably. The factors that cause corrosion can be avoided by choosing different materials during the design process. As for the cracks that occur during production due to vibrations or changes in stress, they can also be repaired.
