ALTERNATING LARGE-CAPACITY PACKING IN ONE SECTION OF MASS EXCHANGE COLUMN Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B01J19/32 F25J1/00 

FIELD: mechanics.

SUBSTANCE: mass exchange column packing assembly incorporates multiple vertical adjacent layers of structured packing. Every layer contains multiple horizontal elements of the structured packing, each with multiple top and bottom edges. The packing first layer one element has its top and bottom edges altered. The packing second layer, vertically nearby the first layer, has both edges no altered. Note here that one of top not altered edges, or one bottom not altered edges, is arranged adjoining the one altered edge of the first layer.

EFFECT: increased capacity of structured packing at normal mass transfer performances.
