Tellerette 2K Tower Packing maintains good liquid distribution through packing depths in excess of 10 metres. Good initial liquid distribution is essential. Spray headers using full cone spray nozzles are recommended. Weir distributors are not recommended.B. Design of the packing supports is important. The plates or grating should have an open area of 75% to 80%. Intermediate supports must be of a design that will avoid maldistribution. Plastic packing support plates available fromT.C.I are particularly useful in this regard.C. A rough rule-of-thumb for calculating liquid hold-up in a Tellerette Type 2R packed bed is to multiply the volume of packing used in the tower by 5%. This will provide the volume of liquid hold-up. To obtain weight multiply by the liquid density. For more exact liquid hold-up data, please refer to the Tellerette performance curve entitled “Liquid Hold-up”.D. Tellerette 2KTower Packing can be operated at capacities up to the phase inversion point. Because of their open filamentous configuration, phase inversion in a sulzer Tellerette 2K packed column can be reversed by simply reducing either the gas or liquid flow. The tower does not have to be shut down and restarted.
