A packed bed only performs as well as it’s installed. Tray-Tec installs structured and random packing systems in absorbers, strippers, glycol contactors and other process towers, along with the support plates, retainers, liquid distributors, collectors and feed devices that keep vapor and liquid flowing the way your tower was designed.
Packing installation 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.

Before any packing goes in, our crews inspect the vessel and support components, confirm elevations and review the manufacturer’s drawings. Structured packing is set in sections with careful attention to orientation, fit and layer arrangement. Random packing is loaded with controlled drop heights, so metal elements don’t deform and plastic elements don’t break.

From support plates and retainers to liquid distributors, collectors and feed devices, Tray-Tec installs every component that makes the bed work as a system. After installation, we verify bed height, packing condition and all associated internals against your project specifications before the tower is closed.

Tray-Tec has been installing process internals since 2005. We’ve installed packing in 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: protecting structured packing from crushing and contamination, reading vendor drawings on the fly, adapting to field conditions without stopping the clock, 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.
