Why not simply use the packing from circulating water cooling towers for the corrugated packing in the absorption tower?
Thread Content
Plastic plate corrugated fillers are a type of structured filler; due to their large specific surface area, low resistance, and corrosion resistance, they are widely used for the absorption of waste gases. The fillers in circulating water cooling towers are also a type of structured filler, but they differ significantly from conventional corrugated plates. The packing in absorption towers and cooling towers is both used to provide a gas-liquid contact surface, and they serve the same purpose. Cooling towers are widely available on the market with many manufacturers, whereas there are not many specialized producers of plastic-plate corrugated packing. The question is whether we can use the packing from cooling towers when designing with plastic-plate corrugated packing, and whether it would be possible to order such packing conveniently from cooling tower manufacturers Discussion is welcome.
Plastic corrugated sheets and corrugated fillers in cooling towers serve the same purpose. But their materials are different. Cooling tower fillers are generally made of fiberglass, which has slightly poorer plasticity. The degree of corrosion resistance also varies. Of course, if the process requirements are met, it’s also possible to interchange the two! :handshake :)
It can be replaced if the parameter requirements are met.
The parameters are different, unless the absorption efficiency of your absorber does not need to be taken into account. There are many manufacturers of structured packing for absorption towers; you should look around further. I know there are manufacturing plants in Jiangsu and Shanghai
