Random packings minimize pressure drop in demanding vacuum distillation service

These packings are essentially little shapes that fill the column and enable gases and liquids to pass through without any problems, making sure everything stays in balance. Our own experience demonstrates that random packing can in fact make a significant difference in difficult vacuum random packing distillation column duties. 

Why Are Random Packings Used to Reduce the Pressure Drop in Industrial Distillation? 

For instance, if the flow rises or falls again, random packings, continue to permit the fluids to pass with relatively little effort. This versatility is extremely convenient for vacuum distillation columns, where pressure not only becomes low but can so easily be lost. 

How To Select The Right Random Packings For Optimum Vacuum Distillation Performance? 

If the gas is ultralight, the packing must be ultralight as well, so it doesn’t compress under the force of air rushing past. Our team also considers how the packing affects contact between liquid and gas, which is what makes distillation column internals work. 

Typical problems on the use of random packings for vacuum distillation, and their prevention 

Vacuum distillation is used to separate liquids under reduced pressure, thus allowing them to be boiled below their normal boiling points. It's great to have when working with things like heat-sensitive materials. 

How Random Packings Enhance Product Quality in Vacuum Distillation? 

The use of random packings, in vacuum distillation, most often makes a significant impact to the quality of the end product. The reason is that the vapor and liquid in the column are well mixed due to random packings.
