Technology
The purpose of a Schoepentoeter™ and Schoepentoeter™ Plus is to decrease the momentum of the feed, perform a first stage separation of solids and liquid from the vapor, and achieve an even vapor distribution across the vessel cross section. This is obtained by splitting the feed mixture into a series of flat jets.
