This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out to examine the hydraulic behaviour of Katapak-SP11, a new structured catalytic packing of Sulzer Chemtech. Liquid holdup, dry and wet pressure drop, gas capacity and loading of two sizes of packing have been measured using the air-water system at ambient conditions. The experimental results collected are useful for supporting theoretical developments in hydrodynamic modelling and analysis of scale up issues. Data have been used to derive a set of correlation equations to describe the above quantities in terms of gas and liquid loads.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out to examine the hydraulic behaviour of Katapak-SP11, a new structured catalytic packing of Sulzer Chemtech. Liquid holdup, dry and wet pressure drop, gas capacity and loading of two sizes of packing have been measured using the air-water system at ambient conditions. The experimental results collected are useful for supporting theoretical developments in hydrodynamic modelling and analysis of scale up issues. Data have been used to derive a set of correlation equations to describe the above quantities in terms of gas and liquid loads.File in questo prodotto:
