Metal Structured Packing - High Efficiency, Low Pressure Drop for Distillation Towers
Product Overview:
Metal Structured Packing is a high-performance tower internals solution designed to maximize mass transfer efficiency while minimizing energy consumption in distillation, absorption, and stripping processes. Engineered with precision-corrugated metal sheets, this packing delivers superior vapor-liquid contact, ultra-low pressure drop, and exceptional durability, making it ideal for petrochemical, refining, and gas processing applications.
