Cr. Gillham et al., A COMPARISON OF CO2 STRIPPING PERFORMANCE BETWEEN PLASTIC PALL RINGS AND MELLAPAK, Chemical engineering research & design, 71(A3), 1993, pp. 329-330
The performance of 58 inch Pall rings and 125) Mellapak to remove CO2
from water was determined in a 150 mm diameter column packed to a dept
h of 940 min. Liquid rales were varied from 500 to 2000 l/h at varying
air flowrates. The performance of both packings was found to be simil
ar. Optimum L/G rates of 25 to 30 achieved CO2 removal as high as 95%.
