FLEXIPAC® HC® structured packing improves capacity by up to 40% with a significant reduction in pressure drop compared to conventional structured packing. This is accomplished with the same high efficiency that make structured packing ideal for both new towers and revamps. A vertical high-capacity modification reduces flow resistance at layer interfaces by minimizing liquid buildup that leads to resistance to vapor flow and preserving performance across a wide operating range, providing:
- Increased capacity with no compromise in efficiency
- Lower pressure drop per theoretical stage
- Improved hydraulic performance under high vapor load conditions
- Smaller column diameters or reduced packing height
- Reduced energy use and solvent losses
- Available in exotic materials for systems with corrosive environments
Key Benefits Include:
- Reduced column diameter or packing height for new towers, reducing capital costs
- Reduced energy consumption, reducing operating costs
- Increased throughput or debottlenecking of existing columns
- Improved product purity
