High Performance Random Packing
DtEC offers various types of industry standard high performance random packing.
DMTP High Performance Random Packing
Provides greater capacity than other random packing:
- 13% more capacity than 25mm (1") pall rings
- 22% more capacity than 40mm (1½") pall rings
- 17% more capacity than 50mm (2") pall rings
Gives lower pressure drop than equivalent size pall rings:
- 39% lower ΔP than 1" pall rings
- 40% lower ΔP than 1½" pall rings
- 42% lower ΔP than 2" pall rings
Minimizes liquid hold-up (residence time)
Provides greater efficiency than other random packing
DMTP | Nominal Size | No. | 15 | 25 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Metal | Surface Area | m2/m3 | 282 | 223 | 154 | 98 | 85 | 59 |
Packing Factor | m-1 | 167 | 134 | 79 | 59 | 52 | 39 |
DMR High Performance Random Packing
This packing is available in both metal and plastic.
A key feature of this packing is the aspect ratio (height divided by diameter) of 0.3, which gives it significantly more capacity and efficiency and a much lower pressure drop than equivalent size pall rings.

a-Pak High Performance Plastic Packing
For stripping and absorption applications DtEC supplies a high performance random plastic packing unmatched by any 2nd generation packing. The nominal size of the packing is equivalent to 2" with a specific surface area of 101.5 m2/m3 and a packing factor of 42.7 m-1. It offers the following advantages:
- 26% greater capacity than 2" pall rings
- 60% greater capacity than 1½" pall rings
- 68% greater efficiency than 3½" pall rings
- 25% greater efficiency than 2" pall rings
- 10% greater efficiency than 1½" pall rings
- 20% lower pressure drop than 3½" pall rings
- 50% lower pressure drop than 2" pall rings
- 8% lower pressure drop than 1½" pall rings
The pressure drop savings translate to considerable increases in capacity and hence the size of new towers and fans can be significantly reduced.
