Structured Packing Column | OperatiX – 09
The Structured Packing Column OperatiX – 09 is a glass column, 750mm high and 50mm in diameter, fitted with structured mesh metal packing. This Structured Packing Column uses corrugated flow channels to create high surface area contact between fluid phases with low resistance to gas movement. It is engineered for absorption and distillation, particularly in low pressure and low irrigation rate applications. The column includes 3 input ports for laboratory setup.
The Structured Packing Column OperatiX – 09 uses materials expressly engineered for absorption and distillation applications. This Structured Packing Column is built with corrugated metal plates or gauzes arranged to force fluids along convoluted paths, creating high surface area for contact between phases. It is constructed with a glass column body for laboratory use.
Product Overview
The expression structured packing refers to a class of materials that have been expressly engineered for use in absorption and distillation columns. Structured packing is often made up of tiny corrugated metal plates or gauzes that are placed in such a way that fluids are forced to travel convoluted courses through the column, resulting in a high surface area for contact between distinct phases.
Corrugated sheets of perforated embossed metal or wire gauze are used to make structured packing. As a result, the structure is quite open, with sloped flow channels and a relatively high surface area yet very little resistance to gas movement. This design is central to how the Structured Packing Column achieves efficient mass transfer.
Surface enhancements were chosen to maximize liquid distribution. In low pressure and low irrigation rate applications, these traits tend to provide significant performance improvements.
