The purpose of the support plate is to retain packings without excessive restriction to gas and liquid flow, it also serves to distribute both streams.
Support grids which are designed to provide sufficient strength to support packed beds under normal operating conditions without creating any capacity restriction in the column. Packing support grids promotes High efficiency gas & liquid circulation while reducing the risk of liquid flooding across a system.
The multi-beam packing support is regarded as one of the best random packing support grids. It is having excellent stiffness having high loading capacity to bear extremely high pressure from packing & flowing liquids. Structure of multi-beam packing can help to enlarge open area.it is used in large diameter & heavy duty distillation column.
