Structured Column Packing, Structured Column Packings,structured packing
structured column packing is a family of chemical tower packing solutions offering a wide range of corrugated sheet and surface configurations for optimum performance. TCI structured column packing is manufactured in a wide range of sizes and materials by varying the crimp density and area compare.we TCI can supply structured column packing with Packing surface ranges from 50 m2/m3 (lowest efficiency, highest capacity) to 750 m2/m3 (highest efficiency, lowest capacity). These products are manufactured with two standard crimp angles:
- structured column packing Styles include:
- Style R - a 45° crimp for most distillation applications
- Style S - a 60° crimp for high liquid rate applications, such as heat transfer beds
- Style HC - an optimised fine dimple pattern embossed on the surface to maximise liquid spreading and wetting ability
Type EM range uses the industry-standard embossed sheet metal design and is available with surfaces ranging from below 100 m2/m3 for high capacity applications, to over 500 m2/m3 for high efficiency applications.
Type EM is available in Style R for most distillation applications, Style S for high liquid rate applications, and our recently developed Style HC for enhanced capacity with no loss of efficiency.
Type WG uses corrugated wire gauze sheets to provide improved liquid wetting, offering enhanced separation characteristics for fine chemicals separations. It is, therefore, normally manufactured with a very high surface area (500 m2/m3 and 750 m2/m3).
Type EP is a thermoplastic version of the Type EM, for use in corrosive services.
TCI structured packing may be constructed from almost any commercial metal, including carbon steel, stainless steels (type 410, 304 & 316), duplex steels, aluminium, copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium and zirconium. |
