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

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.
