Ceramic structured packing

We developed a ceramic structured packing made of thin-walled ceramic suitable for corrosive or high temperature applications where other materials like metal or plastic are not suitable. The geometrical surface area of the ceramic generates about 450 m2/m3 of surface area, creating a high separation performance.

Many columns have been installed with MTE packing and have proven to be very stable and reliable in corrosive environments. The packing can be supplied in a single piece construction for small columns and multi piece constructions for larger inner diameters.

Physical properties ceramic structured packing

Applications

• Absorption systems with most acids or solvents
• In glass or enamelled columns
• Vacuum columns
• Rectification of corrosive mixtures
• Corrosive applications with high demand of theoretical stages and low pressure drop requirements

Benefits

• High surface area, high number of theoretical stages per meter
• High gas capacity
• Low pressure drop per meter
• Low liquid loads possible
• Very suitable in corrosive applications
