Metal Flat Ring Packing is a robust industrial packing designed for gas-liquid mass transfer, distillation, and absorption processes. It features a flat ring structure with internal ribs, made of high-strength metal materials, offering excellent temperature resistance, pressure resistance, and stability for industrial applications. The flat ring design with evenly distributed internal reinforcing ribs enhances structural strength while creating turbulent gas-liquid flow, making it suitable for high-load, high-temperature, and high-pressure industrial towers requiring reliable performance.
The Metal Flat Ring Packing typically has a flat cylindrical shape with 4-6 radial internal ribs connecting the inner and outer rings, ensuring uniform mechanical strength distribution. The ring walls may have small holes or notches to improve gas-liquid circulation. Common materials include stainless steel (304, 316, 316L), carbon steel, and alloy steel. Stainless steel variants provide superior corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, carbon steel offers cost-effectiveness for non-corrosive environments, and alloy steel excels in extreme temperature and pressure resistance, adapting to diverse harsh operational conditions.
Performance Advantages
- High Mechanical Strength: The flat ring structure with internal ribs enhances compressive and impact resistance, with compressive strength exceeding 250 MPa. It withstands heavy packing loads in large-diameter towers without deformation, ensuring long-term structural stability in continuous production.
- Excellent High-Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Metal materials enable operation in high temperatures up to 500°C (stainless steel) and pressures up to 15 MPa, maintaining performance in harsh conditions such as high-temperature distillation, high-pressure reaction towers, and thermal cracking processes.
- Stable Mass Transfer Efficiency: The flat ring design with ribs creates turbulent gas-liquid flow, increasing contact area and prolonging contact time. It balances mass transfer efficiency and throughput, making it suitable for both high-load and precision separation processes.
- Good Corrosion Resistance Options: Stainless steel 316 and 316L variants resist corrosion from acids, alkalis, and salt solutions, adapting to corrosive environments in chemical processing, marine engineering, and waste incineration gas treatment.
- Low Pressure Drop and High Flux: The optimized internal structure minimizes flow resistance, resulting in low pressure drop. Its high voidage (75-85%) allows high gas and liquid throughput, meeting the requirements of large-scale industrial production.
Application Fields
- Petrochemical Industry: Widely used in crude oil distillation towers, catalytic cracking absorption towers, and natural gas dehydration towers, improving separation efficiency of petroleum fractions and ensuring product purity.
- Chemical Processing: Applied in high-temperature and high-pressure reaction towers, solvent purification towers, and acid gas treatment units, enhancing mass transfer in processes such as esterification, hydrogenation, and chlorination.
- Metallurgical and Energy Industries: Utilized in metallurgical flue gas purification towers, coal gasification separation towers, and biomass energy conversion equipment, removing impurities from high-temperature gases and ensuring raw material purity.
- Environmental Protection and Waste Treatment: Used in high-temperature flue gas desulfurization/denitrification towers and hazardous waste incineration gas treatment systems, withstanding corrosive and high-temperature exhaust gases to improve pollutant removal efficiency.
