Structured packing DURAPACK®

STRUCTURED PACKING DURAPACK® - made of borosilicate glass 3.3 - - highly corrosion resistant - - high separation efficiency - - low pressure drop - CONCEPT Thermal separation processes are often used in treating and cleaning chemicals. Very common are processes that involve two liquids or a liquid and a gas. The processes used mainly involve extraction, absorption, desorption or stripping, distillation or rectification. These separation processes require mass transfer between two phases; in the above rectification example, the mass transfer between the liquid and gas phase. Keeping the equipment used in this process as compact as possible requires creating as much mass transfer surface in as small a volume as possible. DURAPACK® ensures high flow rates with low pressure drop and at the same time huge mass transfer areas for an efficient separation. In order to intensify the mass transfer in absorption, desorption, distillation and extraction columns structured packing DURAPACK® from borosilicate glass 3.3 is the best choice for corrosive media. Applications are among other are therefore corrosive chemicals such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, other mineral acids such as HCl but also halides such as chlorine, bromine and iodine: short wherever metal material but also plastic fail. DURAPACK® patented structured packing consists of alternately allocated corrugated plates made of borosilicate glass 3.3 with channels at an angle of 45°. In order to increase the turbulence the corrugations are notched.
