Metal Structured Packing Manufacturers China Introduction


Metal structured packing is a key component in modern distillation, absorption, and stripping columns. Known for its high efficiency, low pressure drop, and strong mass transfer performance, it has become a preferred choice in industries such as petrochemicals, refining, pharmaceuticals, and environmental engineering. Wangdu (Hebei) Chemical Engineering Co., LTD specializes in the design and production of high-quality metal structured packing, offering reliable solutions for various separation processes.

1. What Is Metal Structured Packing?

Metal structured packing consists of corrugated metal sheets arranged in a geometric pattern to create a large surface area for vapor-liquid contact. The sheets are typically made from stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium, or other alloys, depending on the application. The structured arrangement ensures uniform flow distribution, enhancing separation efficiency.

Compared to random packing and trays, metal structured packing offers:

  • Higher efficiency – Provides more theoretical stages per unit height.

  • Lower pressure drop – Reduces energy consumption in distillation columns.

  • Greater capacity – Handles higher vapor and liquid loads.

  • Corrosion resistance – Suitable for aggressive chemical environments.

2. Types of Metal Structured Packing

Different designs are available to meet specific process requirements:

(1) Corrugated Sheet Packing

  • Made from thin, corrugated metal sheets layered at specific angles.

  • Common types: Sulzer BX, Mellapak, Gempak.

  • Used in general distillation, absorption, and cryogenic applications.

(2) Wire Mesh Packing

  • Constructed from woven metal wires, offering high surface area.

  • Suitable for high-purity separations, such as in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries.

(3) High-Performance Packing

  • Features enhanced geometries for extreme conditions (e.g., vacuum distillation).

  • Examples: Montz B1, Koch-Glitsch Flexipac HC.

3. Key Applications of Metal Structured Packing

Metal structured packing is widely used in:

(1) Distillation Columns

  • Crude oil fractionation, ethylene production, and solvent recovery.

  • Improves separation efficiency while reducing energy costs.

(2) Absorption & Stripping Columns

  • Removes contaminants (e.g., CO₂, H₂S) from gas streams.

  • Used in natural gas processing and wastewater treatment.

(3) Cryogenic Air Separation

  • Separates oxygen, nitrogen, and argon at low temperatures.

  • Requires high-performance packing with minimal pressure drop.

(4) Petrochemical & Refining

  • Aromatics extraction, LNG processing, and refinery gas treatment.
