Structured Packing

Corrugated sheet, wire gauze and grid packing that gives high efficiency and capacity at low pressure drop, supplied in modules sized to pass your manway.

Structured Packing

Structured packing is built from corrugated layers set at 45° (Y type, better efficiency) or 60° (X type, lower pressure drop). We supply sheet-metal packing from 64 to 500 m²/m³, wire gauze packing for vacuum and fine distillation, and grid packing for fouling and coking service.

Recent projects include more than 50 m³ for a 4.2 m stripper and expedited supply for two columns of 2.9 m and 3.95 m diameter, delivered with distributors, support grids and site installation support.

  • Sheet metal 64–500 m²/m³, X and Y inclination
  • Wire gauze 250 / 500 / 700 m²/m³
  • Grid packing for fouling and coking service
  • Modules sized for manway entry
  • Distributors, collectors and grids as a package
  • Expedited delivery for shutdowns

Packing Types

Sheet-metal packing

Sheet-Metal Packing

Corrugated, perforated sheet in 45° (Y) or 60° (X) inclination; the general-purpose choice.

Wire gauze packing

Wire Gauze Packing

Woven wire gauze for very high efficiency and low pressure drop in vacuum and fine distillation. Not for fouling or strongly corrosive media.

Grid packing

Grid Packing

Robust open grids for plugging, coking, erosion and solids-laden service, easy to clean.
