Structured Packings

Brentwood offers an extensive line of structured packings, designed to fit any mass transfer application. Selecting a structured packing for an application involves balancing mass transfer performance, pressure drop, and fouling resistance. Brentwood structured packing is available in several different materials, including PVC, polypropylene, PVDF, and metal, allowing for the selection of the most cost-effective material for the application, based on appropriate chemical and temperature resistance.

Product	Structure	Specific Surface Area	Hydraulic Capacity / Specific Pressure Drop	Mass Transfer Performance	Resistance To Scaling And Fouling	Specific Pressure Drop / Number Of Transfer Units	Typical Applications
MASSdek 80 Grid	Typical Applications	80 m²/m³	+++	+	+++	+++	For high fouling absorber and stripper applications where there is a high particulate loading in the gas stream or poor air quality.
MASSdek 125 HTC	Cross-Fluted	125 m²/m³	+++	+	+++	+++	A high capacity, cross-fluted structured packing meant for moderately fouling scrubber and stripper applications where fouling is not severe enough to require a grid packing.
MASSdek 150 HTC	Cross-Fluted	150 m²/m³	+++	++	++	+++	Excellent all-around structured packing for clean and moderately clean applications. A high capacity structured packing that is well-suited for absorption and stripper applications.
MASSdek 250 HTC	Cross-Fluted	240 m²/m³	++	++(+)	+	++	Designed to be a high capacity structured packing with a high specific area. It performs well in clean applications where high removal is required but a lower pressure drop is desired.
MASSdek 250 HTE	Cross-Fluted	240 m²/m³	+	+++	+	++	A high capacity structured packing made for clean applications where the highest removals are required.

Air Treatment For Odorous Waste

Brentwood worked with a client to design scrubbers for an air handling and treatment system. The client was dealing with odiferous air being emitted from pumping stations, sewers, and aerated beds across 11 municipal sewage plants around the city of Istanbul, Turkey. Brentwood recommended MASSdek® Structured Packing to achieve the client’s requirements. Read the full case study to see how this system performed!
