Compact Metal Structured Packing Module Low Pressure Drop High Capacity

Structured Packing Product Overview:

Summary — engineered for compact, efficient separation
Metal structured packing provides ordered, repeatable flow channels that optimize gas-liquid contact while keeping hydraulic resistance low. This makes it especially suitable for retrofit works and new installations where column height or weight is constrained. By converting conventional tray or random packed duties to structured packing, operators often achieve the same separation with reduced column height and steadier stage performance.

Hydrodynamics & performance tradeoffs
The packings consist of corrugated metal sheets assembled at specific stacking angles to generate predictable vapor and liquid pathways. Available grades cover a range of specific surface areas and corrugation pitches so designers can select a grade matched to the plant’s F-factor and liquid loading. Fine-pitch packings increase mass transfer for low-velocity duty while coarser pitches tolerate higher vapor loads and particulate presence with lower fouling risk. Performance maps and HETP curves are provided to support process simulation and scaling.

Materials, surface treatment and durability
Material selection is critical for compatibility and longevity. SS316L and Alloy 625 are recommended for sour or halide-containing streams; PTFE-lined or ceramic coated panels are options for highly corrosive services. Surface finishes such as electropolish reduce particulate adhesion and ease cleaning. For abrasive gas streams we advise thicker sheet options and sacrificial protective coatings to extend service life. We provide corrosion rate data and life-cycle cost comparisons to support material selection.

Integration, maintenance and project support
Modules are supplied as pre-cut panels or boxed modules for rapid onsite installation. We include support ring recommendations, hold-down details, and distributor/collector compatibility notes. For project orders we offer CAD layouts, sample modules for pilot testing, and onsite commissioning support. Typical lead time is 10–35 days depending on material and volume; packaging per module uses pallets, protective film and crates as required.
