Entrained liquid that gets past your mist eliminator ends up in downstream equipment. Tray-Tec removes, replaces and installs mesh and vane mist eliminators that separate liquid droplets from gas and vapor streams, fitted to the manufacturer’s drawings so your vessel separates the way it was engineered to.

Mist eliminator work happens inside the vessel. 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.

Gaps, damaged elements or incorrectly positioned sections let vapor travel around the separation media instead of through it. Our crews inspect the support area, identify each mist eliminator section, move the components into the vessel and position them exactly as the manufacturer’s drawings specify, so all of the gas passes through the media.

Mesh pads capture droplets in layers of knitted wire or similar media, while vane systems use shaped passages that redirect the gas stream to separate the liquid. The right configuration depends on your process conditions, vessel geometry, gas velocity and liquid loading, so Tray-Tec installs to your OEM and project requirements, not a generic standard.

Tray-Tec 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 bring the know-how that only comes from years of work inside real vessels: handling separation media without damaging it, positioning sections to the drawings, reading vendor drawings on the fly and flagging 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 an ISNetworld, Avetta and PEC compliant contractor and a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Tray-Tec meets the prequalification requirements for major operators from day one.
Full installation of fractionation, high-performance, transition, and valve trays. Includes hardware assembly, levelingverification, downcomer clearance checks, and seal pan installation per vendor spec.
Installation of structured packing, blocksand, random dumped packing in-absorbers, strippers, and glycol-contactors. Includes pre-installation, inspection, bed loading to spec, and post-load verification.
Precision installation and leveling ofliquid distributor trays and collector traysabove packed beds. Our crews verifylevelness and flow uniformity beforeevery bed is loaded.
Installation of mesh mist eliminators,vane-type mist eliminators, anddemisting cyclones at tower outlets andvapor spaces to prevent liquid carryoverand protect downstream equipment.
Installation of feed pipe inlets, inlet-vane diffusers, inlet cyclones, and distribution baffles to control the vapor-liquid mixture entering the column and prevent maldistribution.
Installation of coalescers, hydrocyclones, demisting cyclones, screen cylinders, support grids, and sandjet systems inside separators, scrubbers, and knock-outdrums.
Tray cleaning, hardware replacement, downcomer repair, and on-site repairs during turnarounds and unplannedoutages. Also includes routine vessel inspections and nozzle installations.
Full blind-to-blind internal scope duringplanned turnarounds. From initial vessel opening, internal demolition and inspection, through reinstallation and final closure. Coordinated with your shutdown schedule.
