This structured packing is widely used across chemical, petrochemical, refining, and environmental industries, delivering high performance under vacuum and atmospheric pressure conditions.
Manufactured in standard heights of 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm, with custom sizes available, Valor’s wire mesh structured packing offers flexibility for various column designs and process requirements. Its construction using premium metals such as stainless steel (SS304L, SS316L, SS321), Monel, copper, and titanium grades (Gr.2 & Gr.7) provides excellent corrosion resistance, heat stability, and mechanical strength, even under harsh operating environments.
Available in three main types — 250X, 500X, and 700Y — the packing is designed to suit different mass transfer needs. The 250X type offers a specific surface area of 250 m²/m³, making it ideal for systems requiring higher liquid load capacity. The 500X variant balances efficiency and pressure drop for versatile applications, while the 700Y provides maximum separation efficiency at lower vapor loads.
Valor’s Wire Mesh Structured Packing is known for its low pressure drop, high separation efficiency, and excellent liquid distribution, ensuring stable operation even at low spray densities. The corrugated design enhances the uniform flow of vapor and liquid, minimizing channeling and maximizing contact area. This results in improved product purity, reduced energy consumption, and better column throughput.
Applications include phenol distillation, methanol and ethanol separation, vacuum distillation of dimethyl terephthalate, propylene oxide purification, and solvent recovery systems. The packing performs exceptionally well in processes requiring precise temperature control and high separation accuracy, making it a preferred choice for modern industrial operations.
Key benefits of Valor Wire Mesh Structured Packing include high-temperature resistance, low maintenance, anti-plugging performance, and cost-effectiveness. It is suitable for both new installations and retrofits, offering a long service life and easy integration with existing tower internals.
Valor ensures every unit meets stringent quality standards and offers design customization to match specific process requirements, ensuring reliable performance, consistent product output, and enhanced operational efficiency.
