Gas Liquid Contacting

LARGER GAS TO LOW LIQUID FLOW RATES

KOMAX SYSTEMS’ MODEL GLCX is a patented design for larger gas, small liquid contacting requirements. No other static mixer/contactor/reactor technology approaches GLCX effectiveness.

The smaller liquid phase is introduced into the gas stream through a liquid injector pipe that discharges on the noise cone of the six-chamber Equalizer mixing module. The method ensures the uniform delivery of liquid into each concentric contactor.

The liquid and gas phases are contacted by the static mixing elements inside the six mixing chambers. Fine liquid droplets are developed by the high velocity gas/liquid streams resulting in a greater amount of liquid surface area exposed to the gas phase.

The Komax GLCX will save your operation money. This improved mixing technology of multi-parallel static mixers provides increased mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases. Increased mass transfer results in lower gas usage and therefore lower gas costs.

Pressure drop is also minimized due to parallel paths offered to the flow and the benefits of Komax’s patented mixing element designs. Lower pressure drop means lower required horsepower, average requirements and therefore utility costs.

Gas Liquid Contacting

“LARGE LIQUID TO LOW GAS FLOW RATES”

Komax Systems Model GLCXX is a co-current design for larger liquid to gas contacting requirements.

No other static mixer/contactor/reactor technology approaches GLCXX effectiveness.

The gas phase is introduced into the liquid stream through an inline 20 micron porous 316 stainless steel injector nozzle that discharges micro fine gas bubbles directly into the six chamber Equalizer mixing module. This method ensures the micro fine gas bubbles are produced prior to mixing into liquids through thousands of tiny pores, creating bubbles far smaller and more numerous than with drilled pipe.

The fine gas bubbles and phase are contacted by the static mixing elements inside the six parallel static mixers of the Equalizer module. The fine gas bubbles produced by the porous gas injector nozzle results in a greater amount of gas surface area exposed to the liquid phase during mixing.
