Saddle Rings

Saddle Rings were originally introduced to the industry under the product name IMTP® Intalox Metal Tower Packing, a registered trademark of Koch-Glitsch, LP.  Today, ACS offers a similar high performance, third generation, random packing in primarily 304SS and 316L SS metal alloys for quick replacement in kind from stock materials.

Metallic saddle packing gives the best of both the worlds in terms of performance, i.e., low-pressure drop and high efficiency. Hence it can be effectively used in both high pressure as well as vacuum towers. Some of its other advantages include large effective interfacial area, high mechanical strength and lower cost due to less metal than previous generations of random packing. It is available in various sizes, which give different combinations of efficiency and pressure drop and can be fabricated from a variety of metals.

This random packing type is preferred by the chemical industry and is available in various sizes such as (mm) 25, 40, 50, and 70.

ACS/Montz structured and random packings were featured in the January 2006 issue of Hydrocarbon Processing Magazine for column upgrades, replacement in kind, and debottlenecking applications.
