services enabling cheaper materials to be used.
• A high performance random packing verified by tests
conducted at Fractionation Research Institute (FRI). • Strength-to-weight ratio stronger than most other
random packings.
• Mechanical form provides maximum randomness
with minimal nesting. • Direct replacement of the well know Pall®Ring.
