2 Inch 25mm Metal Random Packing

• Ceramic: Resistant to strong acids (except hydrofluoric acid) and high temperatures (up to 1,200°C). Suitable for corrosive environments (e.g., sulfuric acid absorption).
• Metal (Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy): High mechanical strength and thermal conductivity. Used in high-pressure/high-temperature processes (e.g., petroleum distillation). Stainless steel variants resist mild corrosion.
• Plastic (PP, PVC, PTFE): Lightweight, low-cost, and corrosion-resistant to most alkalis and organic solvents. Ideal for low-temperature, non-abrasive applications (e.g., water treatment, chemical extraction).

1. Lower Pressure Drop
Random packing provides a relatively open structure, allowing gases and liquids to pass through with minimal resistance. This significantly reduces pressure drop compared to structured packing or tray systems, making it ideal for vacuum and energy-sensitive operations.

2. High Surface Area for Mass Transfer
Although randomly arranged, the individual packing elements (such as Raschig rings, Pall rings, or saddles) offer a large specific surface area. This increases contact efficiency between gas and liquid phases, improving mass transfer performance.

3. Cost-Effective and Easy to Install
Random packing is generally less expensive to manufacture and install. It can be quickly dumped into a column without complex assembly, lowering construction and labor costs.

4. Good Liquid Distribution and Wetting
The irregular shape and orientation of the packing elements enhance liquid spreading and wetting. This improves the uniformity of mass transfer and prevents channeling within the column.

5. Versatility in Materials
Random packing is available in metals, plastics, and ceramics. This allows selection according to operating temperature, corrosion resistance, or chemical compatibility, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.

1. Distillation

• Petrochemical Industry: Crude oil refining (separating gasoline, diesel, kerosene), naphtha fractionation.
• Chemical Production: Ethanol-water separation (beverage/fuel ethanol), solvent purification (e.g., methanol).
• Food & Beverage: Essential oil extraction (e.g., citrus oils) and sugar syrup concentration.

2. Gas AbsorptionRemoving harmful components or recovering valuable substances from gas streams:

• Environmental Protection: Flue gas desulfurization (removing SO₂ from power plant emissions), ammonia/NOₓ capture in industrial exhaust.
• Chemical Recovery: Recovering volatile solvents (e.g., benzene, toluene) from chemical process off-gases; absorbing CO₂ in carbon capture systems.
• Water Treatment: Stripping dissolved gases (e.g., H₂S, chlorine) from groundwater or wastewater.

3. Liquid-Liquid Extraction

• Pharmaceuticals: Purifying active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from fermentation broths (e.g., antibiotics).
• Mining & Metallurgy: Recovering precious metals (gold, copper) from leachate; separating rare earth elements.
• Fine Chemicals: Extracting organic acids (e.g., acetic acid) or dyes from aqueous solutions.
