Random Column Packing
PDS Pro-Pak - High-Efficiency Random Column Packing for Distillation
Pro-Pak represents a highly efficient choice in random packing for distillation, effective under both atmospheric and low-pressure conditions. Complying with rigorous international standards, such as ASTM D2892, it is optimized for the distillation of crude petroleum. Available in multiple sizes, Pro-Pak facilitates high-efficiency separations in numerous operational scales, from bench research to pilot and technical-scale productions. Its design prioritizes high purity, compactness, energy efficiency, and low loading, catering to demanding industries like petroleum, food and beverage, organic and green chemistry, electronic chemicals, and isotope processing. Constructed in 316 Stainless Steel, 400 Monel, and other specialty metals, it ensures enhanced corrosion resistance and suitability for diverse applications. This makes it ideal for laboratory, pilot, and small production scale distillation columns.
PDS Pro-Pak® - Metal Tower Packing for Distillation and Absorption
The PDS-IMTP-25 is a precision-engineered metal tower packing solution designed to optimize mass transfer in distillation and absorption columns. The packing is characterized by its 25 mm IMTP-style structure which ensures high efficiency in separation processes. It boasts a high surface area of 225.8 m²/m³ and a void fraction of 96.6%, enabling it to handle a broad flow range while maintaining a low-pressure drop. This makes it particularly suitable for industrial applications such as petrochemical processing, refining, biofuel production, chemical manufacturing, and environmental scrubbing. The packing is tailored to work effectively when paired with a column diameter-to-packing ratio (D/d) of 20. Performance Distillation Solutions offers customized engineering support to meet specific application needs, reinforcing its commitment to energy-efficient and high-performance separation systems.PDS - Metal Pall-Ring Packing for Enhanced Mass Transfer
The PDS-MPALL-25 metal pall ring is designed to optimize mass transfer operations within distillation processes. It features a high surface area of 206.7 square meters per cubic meter and a 94.8% void fraction, which contribute to its efficiency in enhancing column performance. This metal pall ring is particularly suitable for applications requiring robust and durable packing materials capable of sustaining high capacity operations. The air-water pressure drop data, with a diameter ratio of D/d = 20, highlights its efficacy in managing pressure within columns. Overall, the PDS-MPALL-25 is an ideal choice for those seeking reliable and effective mass transfer components in various industrial settings, where it can contribute to improving system throughput and performance.
