The new Raschig Super-Pak is a novel development in
mass transfer technology because of its optimized
surface design. It enables, to an extent never known
before, great separation efficiency and high loading
capacity while keeping the pressure drop extremely
small.
Raschig Super-Pak structured packing is fundamentally different to the
standard and high capacity corrugated sheet metal
structured packings existing since years on the
market. A common feature of these standard and high
capacity structured packings is that both have
discreet crimped channels that force vapour-liquid
traffic along preferred flow paths. Additionally the
vapour-liquid traffic is forced into sharp
directional changes at the packing layer interface
when packing elements are vertically stacked. The
net result is that the enforced vapour-liquid flow
patterns within the ‘closed’ structure of a common
packing element do not necessarily utilize all of
the available surface area for mass transfer and
impose restrictive forces that reduce capacity and
increase pressure drop.
Raschig adopted a different approach in developing Raschig Super-Pak. It
is a more open structure such that vapour-liquid
traffic can flow freely within a packing element and
no sharp directional changes are existing at the
layer interface.
The rows of sinusoidal waves within vertical packing sheets are surface
enhanced to encourage greater turbulent radial
spread of thin liquid film flows on the front and
back of the waves on each sheet within an element.
The open structure resulted in excellent hydraulic and mass transfer
efficiency characteristics.
The following figures are describing the advantages.
