STRUCTURED PACKING

Product Description

Structured Column Packing is formed from vertical sheets of corrugated thin gauge ceramic / metal/ plastic with the angle of the corrugations reversed in adjacent sheets to form a very open honeycomb structure with inclined flow channels and a relatively high surface area. To simplify installation, it is delivered in preformed slabs or segments that are sized to fit through the vessel manways. A high surface area will only provide efficient mass transfer if it is effectively used to increase vapour liquid-contact and therefore a variety of surface enhancements are available to promote liquid spreading over the packing surface. The low resistance to vapour flow together with efficient use of available surface tends to give structured packings (structured column packings) significant performance advantages over random packings (random column packings) in high vapour rate/low liquid rate systems. AceChemPack offers two performance-improving structured packings (structured column packings) : AceChemPack Corrugated Structured Packing, fabricated from ceramic, sheet metal or engineered plastics, and wire gauze packing
