Delta Scale Trap - Screens - Datasheet

In down-flow processes, metallic contaminants known as scale can be a costly nuisance. With a tendency to quickly clog the surface of catalyst beds in reactor vessels, scale build-up hampers flow rates and shortens bed life. Scale traps from Delta Screens prevent these issues by effectively increasing the surface area of the bed to diffuse the scale over a larger surface area. Positioning scale traps in an array in the upper part of the catalyst bed can increase the effective bed area by up to 400 percent, effectively trapping most contaminants and improving flow rates.
