Is the design of the tower internals carried out by a design institute, or by a specialized manufacturer?
The design of the tower internals is usually based on the requirements set by the design institute, with the professional manufacturer carrying out the actual design work.
The design institute sets the conditions, and a specialized manufacturer carries out the detailed design; this usually involves patent rights
Isn’t tray design included in the design specifications? ? ? ?
Isn’t it specified in the design guidelines? Why doesn’t the design institute complete the design right away? Is it because there’s not enough time?
Outsourcing to specialized manufacturers saves money. Installation is done at the customer’s location; only factory assistance is required.
So there are such considerations after all. 【A Decade of Great Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】 – A continuously updated summary thread; feel free to join the discussion: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Huahai Chuanliu – Haichuan Network)
The design institute sets conditions; the manufacturers of the tower internals provide a budget and cost estimates. In some cases, these are specified by the client, and the tower manufacturer combines the contracts of all parties involved. This is somewhat unfair, but it’s the practice in most places in China. Our company has encountered this situation several times – the costs of the tower internals were much higher than those for our own towers
The design of tower internals usually involves the design institute providing process data requirements, while specialized manufacturers are responsible for the detailed design, manufacturing, and installation

Just like in the field of static equipment design, engineering firms no longer bother with such detailed work that requires effort but yields little profit and is not easy to complete. Moreover, the young designers taking over now really do not know how to design; their skills have declined, and all they know how to do is make demands. There are many similar specialized design fields, such as the field of mechanical pumps. In the field of utility engineering, areas like sewage treatment, flares, boilers, and incinerators are also involved. Nowadays, it is the design institutes that set the requirements, while specialized manufacturers provide end-to-end services including design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning.
This situation does exist. The contract terms and price are negotiated by the owner, who then signs the contract and is responsible for its execution and payment.
