That means lessdown time for maintenance.Higher Gas Velocity, Smaller EquipmentQ-PAC® can be used at higher gas velocities thanold-style tower packings. Scrubbers and gas-coolingtowers can be designed at well above conventionalvelocities without sacrificing efficiency. Capitalcosts can be cut by building smaller-diametercolumns, often with smaller pumps and mist elimi-nators.Capacity-Boosting UpgradesOlder equipment using conventional packings can beretrofitted with Q-PAC® to obtain additional capacityat a fraction of the cost of another tower.Lower Packing CostQ-PAC®'s low weight per cubic foot reduces packingcosts, especially when specialty thermoplastics areneeded for heat and corrosion resistance.What Q-PAC® Can Do for Your Design (continued)Lantec sales: (781) 769-19013.25” x 3.75”96.3%2.1 lb/ft34.1 lb/ft333/ft37/ft11,000/ft3Q-PAC® Physical CharacteristicsQ-PAC®U.S. Patent # 5,458,817World Wide Patents PendingDimensionsVoid FractionWeight PolypropylenePVDFNumber of PiecesPacking FactorDrip Points8.25 cm x 9.5 cm96.3%33.7 kg/m365.8 kg/m31165/m323/m388,000/m3(Metric Units)Lantec sells a line of plastic, ceramic, and metalmedia for use in various applications including:- Wet Scrubbing- Air Stripping- VOC Control- Biotreatment- Mist Elimination- DistillationFor two decades, Lantec has developed technical expertisein numerous applications involving tower packings.
