Product Feature
AYRTTER Wire Mesh Structured Packing, with its unique structural advantages and excellent mass transfer performance, is widely used in high-precision separation applications.
1. High specific surface area enhances mass transfer process.
Wire Mesh Structured Packing employs a finely woven metal wire mesh structure, possessing an extremely high specific surface area (reaching 500–1500 m²/m³ or more), far exceeding that of traditional structured packing. This means that under the same tower height conditions, the gas and liquid phases can achieve more sufficient contact and exchange opportunities, significantly improving the mass transfer flux per unit volume and laying a solid foundation for achieving high-purity separation.
2. Unique capillary effect, excellent wetting properties
Unlike ordinary corrugated metal packing, wire mesh materials possess inherent capillary liquid absorption properties. This characteristic allows the liquid to spread evenly and continuously wet the packing surface, preventing dry walls or channeling even at low spray densities. This excellent wettability ensures continuous renewal of the gas-liquid interface, further improving separation efficiency, and making it particularly suitable for low liquid-to-gas ratio conditions.
3. Low pressure drop and low liquid holdup result in significant energy savings and reduced consumption.
The structural design of wire mesh structured packing ensures smooth airflow and low local resistance, resulting in a lower pressure drop (typically only 1/3–1/2 that of ordinary packing), effectively reducing tower operating energy consumption. Simultaneously, its low liquid holdup and short liquid residence time within the packing layer are beneficial for:
Difficult-to-separate systems (such as near-boiling point mixtures and azeotropic systems): require a large number of theoretical plates, and wire mesh packing can provide sufficient theoretical plates within a limited column height;
Heat-sensitive systems (such as fine chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, fragrances, etc.): Low liquid holdup means that the material has a short residence time in the high-temperature zone, which can effectively prevent thermal decomposition, polymerization or deterioration, and greatly improve product yield and quality.
4. Diverse materials available to suit harsh working conditions
AYRTTER Wire Mesh Structured Packing can be manufactured using a variety of metal materials to suit different media environments, including:
Stainless steel (304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, etc.): corrosion resistant, high strength, suitable for most chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical applications;
Copper and copper alloys: good thermal conductivity, suitable for specific heat exchange or catalytic distillation scenarios;
Aluminum: Lightweight design, suitable for air separation equipment and cryogenic conditions;
Pure iron and carbon steel: economical options, suitable for non-corrosive or weakly corrosive media;
Nickel and nickel alloys (such as Ni200, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy): resistant to strong corrosion and high temperatures, suitable for extreme environments such as chlor-alkali, acetic acid, and seawater desalination.
In addition, AYRTTER can also provide wire mesh fillers made of special materials such as titanium and zirconium according to customer needs.
