EVERPACK WM COLUMN PACKING (WIRE MESH STRUCTURED PACKING)

INTRODUCTION

EVERPACK WM COLUMN PACKING were developed by us as a part of a comprehensive development program to improve packing performance.

EVERPACK COLUMN PACKING are constructed of innovative textured wire gauze layers. This special gauze (which is normally made of stainless steel) provides a high degree of wicking action, drawing the liquid in all directions into a thin film and provides a marked improvement in uniform wetting of the packing bed.

The wire gauze layers are corrugated in a novel contoured pattern and arranged vertically, in close contact, to form modules. These modules are then stacked with an alternating 90 degrees orientation of every other layer which gives a good lateral distribution of liquid and gas.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF EVERPACK WM PACKINGS

PERFORMANCE

The capillary action and the high surface area provide maximum exposure between the liquid and vapour phases, thus providing a very high mass transfer efficiency.

We design and manufacture various internals to help maximize tower performance. Good initial distribution, together with systematic redistribution, is critical to tower performance. EVERPACK WM packing are available in the EVERPACK WMX 500 & WMY 750 high efficiency versions.

APPLICATIONS

Because of their low pressure drop and minimum hold-up characteristics, EVERPACK is an ideal mass transfer media for temperature-sensitive systems.

These include:- Vacuum distillation, temperature sensitive compounds, low-liquid loading systems, specialty chemicals, isomer separation, essential oils and fragrances, organic intermediates, amines, glycols, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, plastic monomers, vitamins and pharmaceuticals. These graphs represent performance characteristics of EVERPACK WM column packing. Top
