Randomised Packaging

About Random Packing

Random packing refers to the loading of a distillation column with packing material arranged at random. This method increases the available surface area for reactant contact and reduces the complexity in constructing such columns.

Packed columns that use filter media for chemical exchange are widely employed in the chemical industry to improve reactant contact.

Random packings exhibit resistance to acids and high temperatures. They resist corrosion from various inorganic acids, organic acids and organic solvents, except hydrofluoric acid. They can be used over a broad range of temperatures. Their application covers the chemical industry, metallurgy, drying towers, absorption towers, washing towers and regeneration towers in sectors such as the gas and oxygen industries. Random packings can be categorised by material into three groups: ceramic packings, plastic packings and metal packings.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies random packing products in various shapes and sizes. They can produce custom materials according to all provided specifications or drawings.

Random Packing Product Categories:

Metal Random Packing: Metal random packings are manufactured from corrosion‐resistant materials such as stainless steel, aluminium and alloys. They are designed to provide durability and thermal conductivity. This enables high mass transfer rates in distillation, absorption and stripping processes.

Plastic Random Packings: Plastic random packings are developed for various applications. They are offered in chemically resistant materials such as polypropylene, PVC and PVDF. They are suitable for applications that require a large surface area and a reduced pressure drop.

Ceramic Random Packing: Ceramic random packings improve separation and mass transfer operations. They provide thermal resistance and mechanical strength, which makes them suitable for high-temperature processes and corrosive environments.

Structured Random Packings: Structured random packings combine attributes of ordered and random systems. These configurations improve packing stability, liquid distribution and mass transfer efficiency, thereby reducing pressure drop.

Advantages of our Random Packing Solutions:

Optimised Mass Transfer: The increased surface area facilitates sufficient phase contact for improved mass transfer rates, thereby achieving enhanced separation performance.

Increased Efficiency: The packings ensure even liquid distribution and reduce channel formation, which results in improved performance and separation quality.

Versatility: The packings are engineered to operate in high-temperature, corrosive or reactive environments.

Cost Efficiency: The packings are designed for long-term use, reduced maintenance requirements and fewer downtimes.

Ease of Installation: The low weight and adaptability of the packings allow for straightforward installation.

Customisation: The selected random packing can be tailored to meet specific process requirements, thereby achieving precise outcomes.

Technical Support: Our expert team assists in selecting the appropriate packing type, size and configuration for your specific application.
