Split BX and BX Plus wire-mesh packing

BXPlus is a new modification of the well-proven BX wire-mesh packing. Its geometry is similar to MellapakPlus. BXPlus provides the same efficiency as BX but with 20% lower hydraulic resistance. This packing is recommended for distillation of heat-sensitive substances at increased capacity.

Preferred operating conditions:

• For a large number of theoretical separation stages 

• From 1 mbar vacuum to atmospheric pressure 

• Where minimal pressure drop per theoretical separation stage is important 

• For columns with a low overall height 

• Batch and continuous columns 

• Pilot columns (scale-up capability)

Limited use:

• For fouling media that form deposits 

• For non-wetting liquids. Applications: 

• Plastic monomers (MDI, DMT, etc.) 

• Fatty acids and alcohols, fatty acid esters 

• Mono-, di-, tri- and tetraethylene glycols 

• Fine organic chemicals
