IMTP tower packing has been used in a wide range ofapplications from very low liquid rate services,such as DMT purification and glycol separation,to high liquid rate applications,such as hot carbonate absorbers and demeth- anizers.IMTP tower packings lower pressure drop, combined with high mass transfer efficiency,provides superior performance in low liquid rate vacuum systems.The low pressure drop provided by IMTP tower packingmakes it a good choice for foaming systems.The presence of foam in a packed bed results in a significant pressure drop increase.The foam represents a very low density...
