High-Efficiency Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Corrugated Packing for Distillation Columns

Boost Separation Efficiency with Structured Wire Mesh Packing

Stainless steel wire mesh corrugated packing is a powerful tool in the field of mass transfer technology. It's engineered for high-efficiency separation and has gained popularity across various industrial applications, especially in distillation towers. This structured packing optimizes gas-liquid contact and overcomes traditional inefficiencies in older designs.

Uniform Distribution for Maximum Performance

One of the most remarkable features of this packing lies in its structured design. Each layer is meticulously arranged to ensure uniform distribution of gas and liquid phases. This uniformity eliminates poor flow distribution, which can significantly reduce efficiency in traditional packing systems.

Thanks to this precise configuration, the packing effectively removes the scale-up effect often found in large-diameter columns. Each segment functions as an independent mass transfer cell. This structure enables superior control over the separation process, even across the entire tower cross-section.

Compact, Space-Saving Design

Each unit of stainless steel wire mesh corrugated packing is designed in disc-shaped layers. These are made from vertically aligned corrugated mesh strips. The height of each layer typically ranges between 100 mm and 200 mm. This compact structure allows for easy installation and maintenance.

Furthermore, its small, space-efficient build ensures more efficient use of tower volume, maximizing the throughput without increasing the tower’s diameter.

Symmetrical Mass Transfer Units for Enhanced Coupling

The arrangement forms multiple small, parallel, and coupled transfer units across the entire tower. These spatially symmetric units boost performance and provide balanced phase interaction. With such a design, both phases – liquid and gas – can efficiently interact within each micro-unit, leading to improved mass transfer rates.

This structured packing isn’t just about being organized. It’s about converting every square inch of tower cross-section into a high-efficiency working zone.
