FLEXIPAC® CP™ structured packing sets a new standard in post-combustion carbon capture, offering up to 65% reduction in pressure drop compared to traditional structured packings. Its advanced design delivers increased capacity without compromising efficiency, ensuring optimal performance for a wide range of applications.
FLEXIPAC CP structured packing provides a pressure drop reduction of up to 65% compared to existing structured packings used in post-combustion carbon capture service along with an increase in capacity. The low pressure drop and high-capacity of FLEXIPAC® CP™ structured packing:
- Allows for reduced column diameters
- Reduced energy consumption for the blower
- Higher throughput
- Smaller diameter allows for less total solvent required
- Smaller diameter allows for less structured packing volume and brick quantity for shorter installation
While increasing the crimp size of structured packings can offer reduced pressure drop and higher capacity, there is a trade-off of lower efficiency and increased packing height. With FLEXIPAC CP structured packing, this lower pressure drop and capacity is achieved without lower efficiency. The optimization of FLEXIPAC® CP™ structured packing for carbon capture actually improves its efficiency compared to existing X-crimp structured packings in addition to the lower pressure drop and higher capacity. This allows for a packing height reduction or reduced operating expenses due to lower recirculation and regeneration requirements with the same packed height. The improved efficiency of FLEXIPAC CP structured packing:
- Allows for reduced column height
- Reduced overall pressure drop due to less packed height
- Smaller packed height allows for less structured packing volume and brick quantity for shorter installation
- Higher capture efficiency for same packed height
- Reduced solvent recirculation and regeneration for same packed height
