| Summary: | Packed towers are commonly used in separation processes such as absorption, extraction, distillation, and stripping. Packed towers contain packing element which improve contact between the two contacting phase. The development of the packing elements has been extensive since its first introduction in the industry. The previous generations of packing element are made of rigid structure that have high structural strength but have low mass transfer area. As the knowledge in mass transfer became more advance, it was soon discovered that the absorption process is actually a mass transfer process. |
