GEA 2H Water Technologies at ACHEMA 2015 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), June 15 to 19, Hall 4.0, Stand F46

At ACHEMA 2015, GEA 2H Water Technologies will present the new GEA 2H MASSdek® structured packings type 250 HTC, also designed to achieve a maximum of cost effectiveness. They offer the chance to exploit many advantages as alternative to random packings in packing columns and gas scrubbers.

GEA 2H MASSdek® structured packings instead of random packings

Structured packings made of polypropylene – such as the GEA 2H MASSdek® by GEA 2H Water Technologies – are an attractive alternative to random packings for use in packing columns and gas scrubbers, and as such allow many benefits. These packings offer outstanding gas and liquid distribution, operate with very low pressure drop, and maintain the original gas and liquid distribution – even with appreciable bed heights. In addition, structured packings, unlike random packings, feature a lesser share of horizontal surfaces and are characterized by absolutely uniform distribution of specific surface area throughout the column cross-section. These characteristics minimize the risk of clogging. The various versions of the GEA 2H MASSdek® allow matching the best model to the respectively required area of application. For all types, however, the sheets are welded with more than 10,000 to 20,000 welding spots per cubic meter. This produces stability and simplifies handling. GEA 2H MASSdek® packings, made of thermoplastic materials, are capable of carrying walking loads without additional support. Their forms remain stable over years and can be disposed of or recycled in environmentally friendly processes at the end of their service lives.
