ELEMENTS OF IRREGULAR PACKING AND COLUMN COMPRISING THEM Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01J19/20 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mass exchange devices to be sued in chemical processes, particularly, to packing irregular elements and column furnished with them. Saddle-shaped elements of irregular packing comprises bent lateral elements arranged on sides and multiple inner and outer bent rib elements extending from side elements to pass there between to form inner chamber. At least, one smaller-size rib element extends from side elements and is located, at least, partially, inside packing element. This allows abut 20% of packing element surface area are located inside inner chamber.

EFFECT: saddle-shaped element with uniform distribution of free volume in taking various rotary orientation relative to fluid flow fall direction toward packing element.
