ABSTRACT:
A randomly packed bed in a tower or column to prevent nesting of the packing elements and to improve physical stability and efficiency. Each packing element is a curved strip with reinforcing ribs and with one or more integral tabs or tongues depending downwardly from slots spaced longitudinally of the strips. Multiple rows with slots may be provided along the strip. The strips are perforated throughout their entire area to provide improved drainage and improved interlocking and improved internal liquid distribution in the packed bed. Point-to-point contact between packing elements, substantially non-varying resistance to fluids flowing and improved mass transfer performance resulting from a more uniform packing density are assured.
