Plastic Multi-Faceted Hollow Sphere is a high-efficiency industrial packing designed for gas-liquid contact, absorption, and separation processes. It features a multi-faceted hollow structure made of durable plastic materials, providing excellent chemical resistance and mass transfer performance for industrial applications. The sphere is composed of multiple interconnected facets with openings, creating a complex internal channel system that enhances gas-liquid mixing and contact efficiency, making it suitable for various absorption, stripping, and purification towers.
The Plastic Multi-Faceted Hollow Sphere typically has 12-16 triangular or polygonal facets, each with evenly distributed holes to ensure unobstructed gas and liquid flow. The hollow core reduces overall density while maintaining structural strength, allowing uniform distribution in tower equipment. Common materials include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PP variants offer good temperature resistance and mechanical stability, PE provides flexibility and impact resistance, and PVC excels in corrosion resistance against acids and alkalis, adapting to different operational environments.
Performance Advantages
- Enhanced Gas-Liquid Contact: The multi-faceted design with numerous openings increases the specific surface area and creates turbulent flow, prolonging gas-liquid contact time and improving mass transfer efficiency by 15-20% compared to traditional spherical packings.
- Excellent Chemical Resistance: Plastic materials resist corrosion from non-oxidizing acids, weak alkalis, and most organic solvents. PP and PVC variants maintain stability in harsh chemical environments, ensuring long-term performance in industrial wastewater and chemical treatment systems.
- Low Pressure Drop: The optimized facet and opening design minimizes gas flow resistance, resulting in low system pressure drop. This reduces energy consumption for fans or blowers, lowering operational costs in continuous production processes.
- Lightweight and High Voidage: With a density of 0.9-1.4 g/cm³ and voidage of 85-95%, the packing reduces tower load and allows high gas throughput, making it suitable for large-scale industrial towers requiring high processing capacity.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: The lightweight structure and uniform size simplify transportation and filling in towers. The smooth surface reduces impurity adhesion, lowering cleaning frequency and maintenance workload.
Application Fields
- Environmental Protection Engineering: Widely used in industrial waste gas absorption towers, such as VOCs treatment, sulfur dioxide removal, and ammonia gas purification, enhancing pollutant removal efficiency to meet environmental standards.
- Chemical Processing: Applied in acid-base neutralization towers, solvent recovery systems, and gas scrubbers. It promotes efficient mass transfer in processes like chemical synthesis and organic solvent separation.
- Water Treatment Systems: Utilized in wastewater stripping towers, ozone contact reactors, and biological filtration towers, improving the efficiency of pollutant degradation and water purification.
- Aquaculture and Aquarium Filtration: In aquaculture, it serves as a biofilm carrier in biological treatment systems, promoting beneficial bacteria growth. In large aquariums, it aids in water circulation and filtration.
