Random packing
Spliteks manufactures a wide range of mass-transfer packing, including several generations of SplitRing random packing, from traditional to the most advanced designs. They increase the contact area between liquid and gas, improving mass-transfer processes.
Random packing is used for fractionation, absorption and stripping. Its advantages are well known: for example, under high liquid loads and high pressure, random packing is preferable because it provides higher distillation or absorption efficiency and a lower pressure drop. In addition, ease of replacement and storage makes random packing an ideal choice for fouling or corrosive media where the packing is replaced frequently.
Characteristics of the highest-capacity SplitRing compared with previous generations:
- 30% lower pressure drop
- 10% higher capacity
- 10% higher efficiency

Spliteks manufactures random packing based on the long-standing traditions of Sulzer Chemtech. This random packing is widely used in columns for intensive phase contact in distillation, absorption and stripping processes. Modern SplitRing designs provide a large contact area, low hydraulic resistance and high efficiency in the chemical and oil and gas industries.
Operating principle of random packing
Random packing consists of individual elements loaded into the column shell in a random arrangement. Liquid flows down the surfaces of the elements as a thin film, while vapour or gas rises counter-currently, creating intensive mass transfer. The random arrangement forms a complex system of channels in which the streams are turbulently mixed.
Such packed devices are particularly effective in absorption processes requiring a large contact area. Unlike structured packing, random packing delivers excellent performance in columns handling contaminated media and where frequent replacement is required.
Types and characteristics of packing
Spliteks manufactures several generations of random-packing elements, including advanced SplitRing packing elements. Each model is optimised in terms of geometry, specific surface area and void fraction.
-
High specific contact area for efficient mass transfer.
-
Low pressure drop across the bed height.
-
Resistance to corrosion and mechanical loads.
Modern generations of random packing deliver a 30% lower pressure drop and 10% higher capacity and efficiency than previous models. The elements are manufactured from various materials, including stainless steel, ceramics and special alloys selected for the operating conditions.
Applications
The packing operates successfully in distillation and absorption columns in the chemical, oil-refining and gas industries. It is used for fractionating petroleum products, drying gas, treating process streams and producing various chemicals. The designs are adapted to columns of different diameters, from laboratory units to large-capacity industrial vessels.
Manufacture and supply
Its own manufacturing facilities in Serpukhov enable Spliteks to control quality at every stage, from material selection to final packaging. All elements undergo strict checks of geometric parameters and compliance with technical requirements.
Random packing can be purchased directly from the manufacturer. Delivery throughout Russia is arranged with the required accompanying documentation.
Spliteks random packing is a reliable, proven solution that increases the efficiency of mass-transfer processes, reduces operating costs and ensures stable column operation under demanding industrial conditions.
