A packed column is used to separate liquids of varying boiling points by sending the feed liquid through one or more chambers packed with packing material. Depending on the process the packing material maybe either random (like Intalox Saddles, Rashig Rings, Berl Saddles or Pall Rings) or more the structured Kuhni, Sulzer or Koch-Glitsch packing material. As the liquid passes through it encounters and refines the vapor travelling up from the Betumen below. The Distillate is captured by condensing and then removed.
Industry leaders in the building of packed columns include Apex, Alabama Heat Exchanger, Fabrication Technology, Langfelds, Offenhauser, Carbone of America, Koch, Roark Enterprises, Bay Tank, Glitsch, RECO Industries, Nolte, Baeuerle and Morris, Bedarco-Nooter Sulzer and Schwabel Fabrications among others.
