Features of MellapakPlus
At the lower and upper end of each
packing element, the orientation
of the corrugation gradually
approaches the vertical axis.
Advantages of this geometrical
MODIlCATION

ges direction at the interface
between two packing elements
s !T THE INTERFACE VAPOR mOW IS
nearly parallel to the vertical axis
of the column. The gas velocity
is therefore reduced by about
 COMPARED TO THE VELOCITY
inside the packing element
Both factors reduce the pressure
drop and the shear forces, which
are especially critical at the interface due to the presence of thicker
and less stable liquid lms. As a
RESULT PREMATURE mOODING AT THE
interface is no longer of concern.
