NCS MESH COLUMN PACKING PAD is high performance structured packing for fractional distillation towers operating at reduced pressure or atmospheric pressure ideal for separation of heat sensitive material, high added products and close boiling fractions and for systems requiring many theoretical stages and low pressure drop. NCS MESH has very low pressure drop per theoretical stage and has low H.E.T.P value, it gives higher throughout, high separation efficiency and lower energy consumption than Random packing and Trays.

ADVANTAGES:

• Reduce tower diameter and height
• Minimize inventory in column
• Increase product purity and output
• Excellent mechanical strength and durability

HOW IT WORKS

NCS – MESH Column packing pads consists of fine strands of multifilament wires, knitted into a sleeve from which is further crimped and wound into a roll of required column diameter. The fine wires used for construction presents an extremely high surface area per unit volume typically 2000 m²/m³. The open structures that results from knitting and the spaces produced by the crimp provides tortuous passage ways for the rising vapour, which promote effective mixing by causing continuous division and re-combination of he vapour streams. Similarly the bunched wires, which are of capillary nature, provide multiple tortuous for the descending liquid, providing continuous division and re-combinations of the streams wherever the wire cross. In addition, the capillary action of the wire makes it an excellent distributor and readily removes liquid streams into the column and re-distributions are not necessary.

APPLICATIONS:

• Flavors & Fragrances
• Pharmaceutical
• Plasticizer esters
• High MW ether alcohols
• Fatty acids, amides, Alcohols
• High B P Solvents
