GAB-Neumann - Graphite Columns and Column Internals

FromGAB Neumann GmbH

SHARE

Graphite columns are designed for the distillation of ultra-corrosive fluids as well as the washing, absorption, or scrubbing of ultra-corrosive gases. Each graphite column is custom-made to best fit with existing process requirements. They consist in graphite cylindrical sections that are stacked one above the other.
