Distillation Column Packing

1. Raschig Rings

●For random packing in a column having a diameter approximately ten times larger than that of a Raschig ring, a required quantity of rings is calculated by :
n=Quantity of rings in 1 m3

D=Diameter of Raschig ring

C=0.77 (Constant for random packing)

For packing Raschig rings, Lessing rings and other annular products in order, the constant C=1.0.

2. Pall Rings

Materials


SUS304、316、316L

● A Pall ring has the same diameter and height, but is different from a Raschig ring in that several portions of the side wall are cut and bent inward so that a gas and a liquid can more efficiently come into contact with each other, achieving a lower pressure loss and a lower HETP than those of a Raschig ring. Pall rings are available in diameters of 12 mm (1/2 inch) or more.

4. Dixon Packing

Materials

SUS304、316、316L

Characteristics

[1] Very low HETP
[2] Low pressure drop
[3] Specifically advantageous for vacuum distillation
[4] Easily replaceable

● A flat section of thin wire mesh is formed into a cylindrical shape with one end curved in an in ward S shape to intersect the inner space, so that Dixon packing is also known as S-shaped partition packing.
By preflooding several times, a higher efficiency is achieved
