Structured packing

Structured packings are built- in appliances in the process engineering and plant engineering.

They are specially designed absorber vessel installations in containers (or - columns ), distillation columns and fixed bed reactors. Structured packing usually consists of thin corrugated and perforated metal plates or wire mesh. The design is an optimal exchange between the different phases (liquid / gas or liquid / liquid ) - with minimal pressure resistance - guaranteed.

For the determination of packing see internals.
