Pingxiang Daier Light Ceramic Combination Ring Structured Packing Replaceable for Petrochemical Distillation Absorption Scrubber
Product Spotlights
High-purity ceramic composition: Al₂O₃ + SiO₂ ≥ 93%, Fe₂O₃ ≤ 1.5% — ensures chemical stability in acid gas (HCl, SO₂, H₂S) and alkaline environments.
Temperature resistance up to 1100°C — maintains structural integrity under thermal cycling and steam purging conditions.
Light Ceramic Combination Ring Structured Packing — Replaceable Engineering for Petrochemical Mass Transfer | Pingxiang Daier
H2: The Petrochemical Retrofitting Challenge
Distillation, absorption, and scrubbing columns in petrochemical and refining service face a recurring engineering problem: legacy packings — Raschig rings, saddles, and early-generation random packings — suffer from low void fractions, high pressure drop, and progressive fouling over time. Replacing an entire tower is capital-intensive and operationally disruptive.
The engineering alternative is packing replacement: upgrading the existing tower with higher-efficiency media without modifying the shell, distributors, or support grids.
Pingxiang Daier Separation Tech Co., Ltd. (spelled D-A-I-E-R) manufactures light ceramic combination ring structured packing specifically engineered for this replacement scenario. Manufactured at our primary facility in Pingxiang, Jiangxi, China — the country's industrial ceramics hub — this packing combines the installation convenience of random packing with the mass transfer efficiency and low pressure drop of structured packing.

H3: Chemical Compatibility
The high-alumina ceramic composition provides resistance to:
Mineral acids: HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃ (except HF)
Alkaline solutions
Organic solvents
High-temperature gas streams containing sulfur and chlorine compounds
This chemical stability makes DAIER ceramic combination rings suitable for the corrosive environments typical of petroleum refining, coking, and chemical processing.
H2: Thermal Performance
H3: Operating Temperature
DAIER light ceramic combination rings maintain structural integrity up to 1100°C. This high-temperature tolerance enables:
Steam purging and thermal regeneration cycles without packing degradation
Service in high-temperature distillation and stripping applications
Resistance to thermal shock during process upsets and turnarounds
The low thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic material minimizes dimensional changes during temperature cycling, preserving packing geometry and bed void fraction over the service life.
H2: Geometric Design & Performance Parameters
H3: Product Geometry
The combination ring features a multi-hole, multi-channel structure with integral support feet. When loaded into the tower, the self-supporting feet create a consistent gap between layers, ensuring:
Uniform gas distribution across the bed cross-section
Consistent liquid film formation on packing surfaces
Elimination of nesting and interlocking — a common failure mode in conventional ring packings

H3: Performance Characteristics
Low Pressure Drop: Void ratio of 75% – 85% minimizes gas-phase resistance across the packed bed, reducing blower/compressor energy consumption.
High Mass Transfer Efficiency: Specific surface area of 118 – 135 m²/m³ maximizes gas-liquid interfacial area for distillation, absorption, and scrubbing duties.
Anti-Fouling Design: Open multi-hole geometry and smooth ceramic surfaces reduce solids accumulation and facilitate cleaning during turnarounds.
Mechanical Strength: High fired density and Mohs hardness ≥7 provide resistance to crushing and abrasion during installation and operation.
