Proper maintenance of tower internals is integral if towers as well as internals have to work efficiently and safely in chemical processing plants. By constantly maintaining inspections and… maintenance schedules they are able to avoid downtimes and extend the life of their equipment OR reduce the amount of equipment needed. Other considerations such as amount of corrosion, thermal covering, and hydrodynamic characteristics such as flow are also critical. Integrating these measures allows for increased efficiency of towers and internals, and in turn better productivity and decreased operational costs.
