Proper selection of Random Packing can take you to the maximum performance and perfect solution for the particular operation. It will ease the research for the selection of random packing. Random packing is used in many applications as solvent recovery, stripping operations, refineries, chemical plants and in absorption operation also. Its effectiveness, easy replacement, availability, affordability and its usability in corrosive applications makes it to stands out. What is random packing? Random Packing is directly dumped into the distillation column to achieve the required surface area where fluids contacts with each other to get efficient mass transfer operation. It’s used in distillation, stripping, carbon dioxide scrubbing and Liquid-liquid extraction. Basically, Random packing are used to allow contact between 2 fluids such as liquid with gas or with liquid-liquid contact. The packing selected should offer large surface area to achieve optimum surface area and effecti

  Demister Pads or Mist Eliminators mostly used for preventing product loss, guarantee filtering efficiency, and to avoid equipment damage. Typically, demister pads are mounted at the top of the vessel before an outlet of the product. They are widely used in cooling towers, ventilation systems and air scrubbers too. Mist eliminators can be also used in the various applications where acid mist, alkaline mist or oil mist gets produced. As the liquid droplets passes through the demister pad which carried by gas, they coalesce and form large droplets which drain back into the system. The large droplets are heavy in the nature comparatively to vapours and gets trapped in the demister pad. This device prevents toxic chemicals and liquids to be released to the environment. The contaminated vapours needs to clarify before it goes out of the vessel. Further, it can lead to corrode the system, can damage electrical systems and can create potentially dangerous work environment.   Working Pr
