Provides a lower pressure drop per theoretical stage and increase capacity compared to trays and conventional random packings.
Columns packed with FLEXIPAC® structured packing have resulted in:
Improved product yields
Improved product purities
Reduced reflux ratios
Increased throughput
Lower pressure drop
Reduced liquid holdup
Increased heat transfer
FLEXIPAC packing is available in a variety of corrugation crimp sizes, each at two inclination angles.
"Y" designated packings
45 degree nominal inclination angle from horizontal
Most widely used
"X" designated packings
60 degree nominal inclintation angle from horizontal
Used where high capacity and low pressure drop are required
Provide lower pressure drop per theoretical stage for the same surface area
