What is Laboratory Structured Packing?
Laboratory structured packing is a specialized type of packing material used in small-scale distillation and absorption experiments conducted in laboratory settings. It's designed to replicate the performance of industrial-scale structured packing but on a smaller scale. Typically made from materials like metal or plastic, laboratory structured packing allows researchers and engineers to study separation processes, optimize conditions, and test new designs in a controlled environment before implementation on a larger scale.
Lab Structured packing is offered for R&D trials and pilot unit distillation. This is very efficient with a very low-pressure drop, low liquid load and higher surface area. It can be used for high vacuums up to 2 mbar. It is used laboratory columns from 20 to 110 mm in diameter. It is made from structured glass packing (borosilicate glass) specially designed for maximum absorption.

FAQs
Laboratory structured packing is a type of packing material specifically designed for small-scale distillation and absorption experiments conducted in laboratory settings.
Laboratory structured packing is typically smaller in size and scale compared to industrial-scale packing. It's designed to replicate the performance of larger packing materials in a laboratory environment.
Laboratory structured packing allows researchers and engineers to conduct small-scale experiments to optimize separation processes, study mass transfer phenomena, and evaluate different packing configurations and operating conditions in a controlled environment.
Laboratory structured packing is commonly used in research and development laboratories, educational institutions, and pilot plants where small-scale experiments are conducted to understand the behavior of separation processes before scaling up to industrial production.
