Polypropylene structured packing reduces clogging risks
This company’s 2H Massdek structured packing (photo) is intended as an alternative to random packing in packed columns and gas scrubbers. Made of polypropylene, these packings operate with very low pressure drops, and maintain the original gas and liquid distribution, even with large bed heights. When compared to random packings, these structured packings have less horizontal surfaces, and are characterized by uniform distribution of specific surface area throughout the column’s cross section, minimizing the risk of clogging. Plastic construction gives 2H Massdek packings longterm stability and allows them to be recycled rather than disposed. Hall 4.0, Stand F46 — GEA Heat Exchangers, Bochum, Germany
