Floating Valve Tray

Floating Valve Tray

Floating Valve Trays are advanced vapor-liquid contact devices widely used in distillation, absorption, and stripping columns. Each tray features multiple floating valves that automatically adjust according to vapor flow, providing stable and efficient operation over a broad range of loads. This self-regulating design ensures high mass transfer efficiency, reduced entrainment, and consistent column performance even under fluctuating process conditions.

Valor’s Floating Valve Trays are engineered for high performance and reliability. The valves lift and close in response to vapor pressure, optimizing vapor distribution and liquid hold-up across the tray surface. This adaptability makes them suitable for both high- and low-flow scenarios, ensuring flexible operation without compromising efficiency. Built from high-grade materials such as SS304, SS316L, and custom corrosion-resistant alloys, these trays deliver exceptional durability and long service life in demanding industrial environments.

Available in both round and rectangular designs, Valor Floating Valve Trays can be customized to match specific tower diameters, vapor loads, and pressure conditions. Round trays are ideal for standard cylindrical towers, while rectangular trays suit pilot columns, test units, and non-standard designs. Each tray is fabricated in-house using CNC punching, laser cutting, and automated forming to ensure tight tolerances, uniform valve movement, and structural precision.

Backed by over 15 years of expertise in tower internals engineering, Valor’s ISO 9001 certified facility ensures complete quality control from design to dispatch. The combination of experience, technology, and craftsmanship guarantees every tray meets international standards for efficiency and mechanical strength.
