Discover quick answers to common questions about INTALOX Saddle Ring to help you select the best solution for your separation processes.
Heilex Packing's interlocking ring design with internal ribs creates high turbulence for superior gas-liquid mixing, boosting mass transfer coefficients by up to 20% over traditional packings like Pall rings, thanks to its large surface area (e.g., 250-350 m²/m³ depending on size). This results in better absorption and stripping efficiency, with real-world tests showing 15-25% higher removal rates for contaminants in scrubbing towers. Available in sizes of 50, 76, or 100 mm, it optimizes contact area while minimizing liquid hold-up, making it a reliable choice for high-efficiency operations.
Heilex Packing features a high void fraction (over 95%) and open structure that keeps pressure drop low—typically 10-50 mm H₂O/m at standard gas velocities—compared to 20-80 mm H₂O/m for similar packings, leading to significant energy savings on fans and pumps. For instance, in a 3m diameter column, annual energy costs can be reduced by 15-25% (based on 8000 hours/year and electricity at $0.10/kWh), as validated in wastewater treatment plants. This low-resistance design ensures efficient operation without sacrificing capacity, ideal for large-scale environmental processes.
Its smooth surfaces and high void space (95%+) minimize particle accumulation and fouling, allowing it to handle liquid loads up to 100 m³/m²·h and solid concentrations over 5% without significant blockage, outperforming traditional packings that often require frequent cleaning. Anti-corrosion materials like PP or PVC further enhance stain resistance, with case studies from coal gasification plants showing uninterrupted runs for over 2 years. This durability reduces maintenance downtime, making Heilex a smart option for high-fouling applications.
Heilex Packing comes in standard sizes of 50, 76, or 100 mm—with 50 mm offering high efficiency but lower capacity, 76 mm providing balanced performance, and 100 mm delivering high capacity with lower pressure drop—and materials including PP, RPP, PVC, or CPVC to match various conditions, offering excellent anti-corrosion and temperature resistance up to 100°C. Selection should be based on factors like gas/liquid flow rates, chemical compatibility, and desired packing factor; for example, use 76 mm PP for moderate-duty scrubbing to balance cost and efficiency. Sutong provides a free selection guide with flow charts to simplify choices and ensure optimal performance.
Heilex Packing excels in gas absorption, scrubbing, and stripping processes, such as flue gas desulfurization and VOC removal, where its design delivers high mass transfer and low fouling—e.g., achieving 95% SO₂ removal in acid gas scrubbers. Supported by data from installations like a Chinese petrochemical plant, where it operated for 3 years with 98% uptime, its small bulk density (60-80 kg/m³) and large surface area ensure consistent performance. Third-party tests confirm compliance with environmental standards, making it a trusted, cost-effective solution for industries like chemical processing and wastewater treatment.
