Miniaturized Experimental Setups as a Fundamental Element of a Promising Design Approach for Structured-Packing Columns
Structured-packing columns are widely used equipment for distillation and absorption processes in the chemical industry. For a highly promising design approach using miniaturized experimental setups, the design and evaluation of two developed miniaturized experimental setups is presented. The miniaturized experimental setups are meant to define characteristic parameters of fluid dynamics. Results of the liquid holdup from both setups are compared against existing correlations and measurements in a pilot plant.
