Table 8 Performance comparison between mellapakplus™ and traditional packing.

From: Research and design experience of a 1 million tons/year CO2 capture project in the Shengli oilfield of Qilu petrochemical

Name

Traditional packing

MellapakPlus™

HETP

0.4 ~ 0.6 m (May exceed 0.8 m with high-CO2 gases due to uneven gas-liquid distribution)

0.2 ~ 0.3 m

Pressure drop (per meter)

3 ~ 5 mbar/m

1.8 ~ 3 mbar/m

Structural Optimization & Performance

No specific optimization, Uneven distribution increases flooding risk

Wave-direction optimization (curved transitions), surface treatment improved gas-liquid distribution
