Three Gee Engineers FLOW-PAK SM Structured Column Packing is the sheet metal version of the popular FLOW-PAK wire mesh packings.

FLOW-PAK structured packing is ideal for difficult separations requiring a large number of theoretical stages in low liquid rate absorption or applications that require a wide operating range. This is mainly due to very low pressure drop across the bed and excellent liquid spreading characteristics over the column packing surface.

Construction

FLOW-PAK Structured columns packing consist of precisely designed metal corrugated sheets which are aligned and placed vertically. The corrugation slopes are reversed in other sheets stacked with an alternating 90 degree orientation of each layer resulting in inclined flow passages and a relatively high surface area. The corrugated metal strips help to promote liquid spreading to ensure maximum wetting of the available surface area thus ensuring good mass transfer efficiency Packings available in a wide range of materials SS304, SS316,SS316L, SS310L etc.

Features

  • Standard Surface Area 125 m2/m3 to 750 m2/m3.
  • Larger number of theoretical stages per meter of packed height.
  • Low specific pressure drop excellent for vacuum distillation systems.
  • Negligible foaming compared to random packing.
  • High vapour load compared to other packing.

Application

  • Ranging from laboratory columns large scale processess.
  • Low liquid loading systems.
  • Temperature sensitive compounds.
  • Azeotropic distillation.
  • Suitable for solvent recovery, batch & continuous distillation systems.
