When your column goes down, your plant goes down. TrayTec specializes in the installation of process internals in towers, reactors, and drums — from fractionation trays and structured packing to liquid distributors, mist eliminators, and phase separation equipment.
Tower internals work happens inside vessels. Our crews are IDLH-trained, confined-space-certified, and equipped with their own rescue teams — so you never have to pause a job waiting on outside safety support. We treat every vessel entry as a critical operation.

A poorly leveled distributor or an out-of-spec tray installation kills column efficiency.Our supervisors are veterans who know the tolerances, follow the vendor drawings to the letter, and inspect at every step. Quality control isn't an afterthought — it's built into our process.

From opening the manway to final torquing and closure inspection, TrayTec handles the full internal scope. Trays, packing, distributors, mist eliminators, feed devices — all installed by one crew under one point of contact. Fewer contractors means fewer scheduling conflicts and a faster turnaround.

TrayTec has been installing process internals since 2005. We've worked inside distillation columns, absorbers, strippers, fractionators, deethanizers, depropanizers, and glycol contactors across refineries, NGL plants, chemical facilities, and midstream processing units.
Our crews don't just show up with tools — they show up with the institutional knowledge that only comes from years of repetitioninside real vessels. That means reading vendor drawings on the fly, adapting to field conditions without stopping the clock, andflagging issues before they become shutdowns.
We operate across 40+ U.S. states and have completed international projects in South Africa, South America, and beyond. As anISNetworld, Avetta, and PEC compliant contractor — and a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) — we meet theprequalification requirements for major operators out of the gate.
Three principles define every catalyst project TRAYTEC executes - and every one of them directly protects your schedule, your people, and your asset.
