MONTZ Standard Metal Sheet Packing Type B1
The high-performing sheet metal packing
MONTZ-Pak Type B1 is the result of years of experience and development in the field of thermal separation technology with structured packings for mass transfer. MONTZ-Pak Type B1 has proven its performance in many technical applications. The exceptional properties are possible through the regular geometrical arrangement of corrugated sheets and its particular MONTZ surface structure.
Properties:
- Large throughput capacity
- High flexibility
- High separation performance, close to capacity limits
- Low pressure drop
- Liquid loads from 0.1 to over 250 m³/(m² h)
- Adaptability to every separation problem through variable, specific surfaces
Applications:
- Atmospheric columns and high pressure columns
- Absorption of components and contaminants from gas and air flows
- Natural gas drying with Glycols
- Refinery columns (atmospheric and under vacuum)
- Petrochemical columns
- Exhaust air decontamination in Aluminium rolling mills
- Lubricating oil and rolling oil processing
- Waste water stripper
- Retrofits of existing plate columns or packed columns for performance improvement
Column data:
- Diameters ranging from 40 mm to 11 m and wider
- Liquid load from 40 l/(m² h)
- Operating pressures from vacuum to above 100 bar
- Minimum liquid hold-up
Separation steps:
- Depending on the type, >5 theoretical separation steps per meter are achieved.
Inclination angles of wave channels:
- Standard version with 45°
- 60° for larger liquid throughputs and direct heat exchangers in condensation beds
- Additional angles on inclination available upon request
Materials:
- Stainless steels such as 1.4000, 1.4301, 1.4404, 1.4571 1.4435, 1.4539, and others
- C-steel
- Hastelloy C4, C22, C276, Aluminium, Copper, Titanium, Monel, Tantalum
- Additional materials are available upon request
Assembly:
- Packings are manufactured as single pieces or in segments. Packing installation is done through column shell flanges or manholes, as desired.
Retrofits:
- The performance of existing columns such as crude oil columns, natural gas drying, vacuum distillation (for fatty alcohols, fatty acids, Methyl ester etc.) can be improved with upgrades.
Available packing types:
| 45° (Standard version) |
60° (for large throughputs) |
