What is a Contact Tower?

A contact towers (also knows as gas contactors) are pressure vessels with a scrubber and absorber section used in natural gas treatment process. Theses towers can be utilized for many things such as dehydration in glycol units or stripping contaminants such as H2S and CO2 in amine plants.

How it Works

Depending on the application, either sour gas or wet gas enters the base of the contact tower and travels up through the column upwards. The glycol or amine then absorbs the water or contaminants from the gas stream, removing water or contaminants, making the gas progressively drier or sweeter. This then makes the gad ready for further processing or transmission.

Surplus Energy Equipment sources a wide range of used contact towers and gas absorbers. Such as bubble cap tray towers, random packed towers, and structured packed towers.
