Distillation, a cornerstone of chemical and petrochemical industries, relies on the efficient separation of components in a liquid mixture. While traditional tray columns have served well, structured packing has emerged as a superior alternative for many applications, offering improved performance and reduced operational costs.

What is Structured Packing?
Structured packing consists of corrugated sheets of metal or polymer arranged to create flow channels within a distillation column. Unlike random packing, which offers a disordered bed, structured packing provides a defined geometry, leading to more uniform vapor and liquid distribution. These sheets are often crimped or embossed to enhance surface area and promote turbulence, critical for efficient mass transfer.
