The Ultimate Guide on how to choose Random Packing
The Ultimate Guide on how to choose Random Packing
Hello! Today, we have prepared an ultimate guide on how to choose
random packing.
Why this guide? To help you make the right decision
when choosing random packing and also to reduce the stress of researching for
the best random packing that provides maximum performance.
Random packing has been used for over 50 years for
calibration, gas absorption, operations in refineries and chemical plants. The
benefits of using random packing are affordability, effectiveness, easy
replacement and storage in heavy fouling or corrosion systems.
In this guide, we will discuss "what is random
packing, types of random packing, different uses of random packing, factors
that you should consider when choosing random packing and how to choose random
packing."
What is Random Packing?
Random packing is the process of randomly dumping
filtration material into a distraction column to obtain the optimal surface
area at which reactants interact to reduce the requirements for building
columns. It is used in distillation, stripping, carbon dioxide scrubbing and
liquid-liquid extraction.
Where is Random packing
used?
When tower has a small diameter: It is
impossible to install trays in towers less than 0.9 m (3 ft) in diameter.
Packing is the most reliable and efficient option for small diameter towers
Corrosive
systems: Random packing falls into a class of materials such as plastics,
ceramics and metals that are resistant to corrosive liquids.
Increasing capacity of operation towers:
If the tower with a tray has low capacity, it can be upgraded with random
packing to upgrade the capacity.

Factors to consider when
choosing a random packing
The common features that you should consider before choosing
random packing are
· Check it meets the process requirements,
· Is it a direct replacement of an already
existing packing
· Your familiarity with the type of packing
and its performance
· Experience with a certain packing with a
specific application.
· Can it be used in a licensed process
These are
all common factors that you should check before choosing random packing. To get
