AMACS designs and manufactures a variety of supports for both random and structured packing. Factors to consider when selecting and designing bed supports include the following: Type and size of packing; Maximum design loads – upward & downward; Process characteristics; Tower attachments and other associated supports, e.g. beams
Random packing is a technique of packing a column with specifically sized and designed materials in random orientations. These materials can vary from metal to plastic to ceramic. The individual pieces increase the surface area within a column or tower, thus increasing liquid-vapor contact and desired mass transfer.
