GTI Solutions Reports Strong Tray Performance in FRI Testing

Dallas, Texas, USA (Aug. 25, 2025)

GTI’s analysis of FRI raw test data indicates an average tray efficiency of approximately 118% at 165 psia, with the highest efficiency sustained over the widest operating range among the high-performance tray technologies compared.

August 2025 — GTI Solutions has announced performance results for its patented G-sF2 valve technology following testing at Fractionation Research, Inc. (FRI). The program was classified as an FRI Category 1 test after being nominated and selected through voting by FRI members, reflecting industry interest in independently evaluating the technology.

The G-sF2 valves were tested as part of GTI’s G-Frac™ high-performance cross-flow tray system in FRI’s high-pressure column using the isobutane/normal-butane system. The test program evaluated tray efficiency, hydraulic capacity, pressure drop and operating-range performance under controlled conditions at 165 psia and 100 psia.

G-Frac™ tray installed in the FRI test column.

Based on its analysis of the FRI raw test data, GTI found that the G-sF2-equipped G-Frac trays achieved an average tray efficiency of approximately 118% across a broad operating range. Among the technologies included in GTI’s comparison, the G-Frac system achieved the highest tray efficiency and sustained strong performance over the widest operating range. This performance was maintained as vapor loading increased, demonstrating a combination of separation efficiency, hydraulic capacity and operating flexibility.

Performance Highlights

An average tray efficiency of approximately 118% at 165 psia across the principal operating range.
In GTI’s comparison, the highest tray efficiency sustained over the widest operating range among the high-performance tray technologies evaluated.
At a 24-inch tray spacing, high-capacity operation was demonstrated at a capacity factor approaching Cs = 0.29 ft/s at 165 psia before the onset of flooding. At 100 psia, an even higher capacity factor of approximately Cs = 0.35 ft/s was demonstrated.
GTI’s comparison indicated approximately 9% to 22% higher tray efficiency than the other high-performance tray designs evaluated.

Because the underlying test data are available to authorized FRI members, they can review GTI’s results directly and independently compare tray efficiency, hydraulic performance and operating range with those of other technologies tested at FRI.

The results support the use of G-sF2 valve technology in demanding fractionation applications where higher tray efficiency, increased capacity and a broad operating range are required. Depending on the application, these performance characteristics may allow operators to increase tower throughput, reduce internal vapor and liquid traffic, lower reflux requirements or achieve a more difficult separation within an existing column.

The G-sF2 is a patented, high-rise fixed valve developed to promote uniform vapor distribution, improve vapor–liquid contacting and provide resistance to entrainment and fouling.

Testing and data note: The analysis and conclusions referenced in this release were prepared by GTI Solutions using FRI raw test data. Category 1 identifies the member-nominated and member-selected status of the test program and should not be interpreted as FRI certification or endorsement of a commercial product. The underlying test data are available to authorized FRI members.

GTI Solutions Awarded Contract to Expand Hydrogen Peroxide Capacity

(Nov. 20, 2015)

GTI Solutions was awarded a multi-million dollar contract to design, fabricate and install column internal components for the production of high purity hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Ultra high purity electronics-grade hydrogen peroxide is a key chemical in the production of semiconductors. As the complexity of computer chips and the miniaturization of the circuits trend increases, the demand for ultra-pure hydrogen peroxide grows. Hydrogen peroxide has also increasingly been used in the manufacturing of LCD displays.

Material selection for constructing hydrogen peroxide equipment is an important factor in preventing corrosion over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations. While H2O2 is not considered highly corrosive, it can cause problems for many metals and alloys under certain operating conditions. For these reasons, zirconium was selected as base material for this project.

GTI’s scope will include engineering, manufacturing, and installation of the critical towers. The unit is expected to start-up in 4Q, 2016.

Charles Cho, President of GTI Solutions Korea, said, “This project demonstrates our commitment to deliver long-lead items at the shortest possible schedule to help the client meet their performance objectives.”
