What type of packing is suitable for corrugated packed towers?
Thread Content
Our company originally used ceramic corrugated packing, as the raw materials have a slight acidic nature. However, this type of packing is prone to damage. I would appreciate it if you could give me some good suggestions. Thank you!
Ceramic material is probably the best choice for your acidic materials; ordinary stainless steel materials will not meet your requirements, so you need to opt for specialized stainless steel materials.
I recommend using stainless steel, but with a PTFE lining on the surface.
Actually, ceramic material is the best choice for use in acidic environments~ It’s low in cost and efficient to produce. If there’s a concern about damage, proper supervision during installation will solve the problem
In acidic conditions, ceramic fillers are generally used, though PVC and polytetrafluoroethylene are also employed.
Acidic; what kind of acid? Some can be used with stainless steel
Here’s a suggestion for you: use graphite filler. Heat-resistant and acid-alkali resistant.
In our clients’ actual applications, ceramic structured packing is used the most; depending on the acidity level, materials such as 304 and 316L can sometimes be utilized as well
