The Shell ConSep trays utilize the principle of de-entrainment by centrifugal force to exceed the gravitational limitation of jet flood.
Characteristics:
- ConSep tray combines
Large bubbling area and liquid handling capacity of the contacting Shell HiFi trays (right side of picture)
Centrifugal Separator (left side of picture) in a single stage: Con(tact) and Sep(arator)
- Highest capacity tray available on the market: above system limit
- Ideal for increasing existing plant capacity (revamps):
Suitable mainly for 1-for-1 revamping of tower equipped with high performance trays
Do not require any welding to the tower wall
Gives up to 40% more capacity than any high performance tray
- Experience with refinery and natural-gas liquids applications
- Application at low tray spacing can provide lower reboiler and condenser duties
- Proven technology and excellent reliability based on:
Actual operating experience
Extensive research and development
FRI proven
 
The FRI test of the ConSep tray has performed in a 1.22m diameter tower with i-C4/n-C4 system at 11 bar. The tray used a 2-pass design.
