FP - Structured Packing

The FP-Structured Packing is a result of years of experience and development in the field of thermal fractionation using packings for mass transfer. This is a universal packing type suitable for a wide variety of applications and provides lower pressure drop per theoretical stage and increased capacity compared to trays and conventional random packing.


Key Characteristics

  • Improved product purities and product yields
  • Reduced reflux rations
  • Pressure drop per theoretical stage of 0.3 – 1 mbar
  • Maximum liquid load up to more than 200 m3/m2h
  • Increased throughput
  • High separation performance close to capacity limits

Applications

  • Vacuum to moderate pressure
  • Petrochemical columns
  • High pressure for selected applications
  • Refinery Columns
  • Chemical Industry
  • Natural gas drying with glycols
