Still today, there is limited information available about the predictive impact of column motion on the fluid dynamics and mass transfer efficiency of industrial-sized marinized columns. Raschig and UOP started a new approach in 2010 to evaluate the performance of random and structured packings during column motion. In a moving pilot plant, columns containing different random and structured packings have been investigated for a wide range of liquid loads with varied constant column tilt and different column motion frequencies. This paper compares the performance of random and structured packings used with different column tilts and motions and will provide information on when to apply one of these product lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
