• Packed towers and tower packings have been in use for more than 100 years. Some early examples of their application involve the production of sulfuric acid and the purification of coke oven gas. Prior to 1915, these towers were filled with coke, random-sized and -shaped quartz, broken glass, or broken crockery.
• Tower performance was unpredictable and no two towers would perform alike. The development in 1915 of the Raschig rings made it possible for the first time to impart a degree of predictability and dependability to tower performance.

Structured Packing
• The use of structured column packing dates back to the 1960s. The packings are generally manufactured from different materials such as ceramics, metal and plastics and divided according to their shape into: gauze packing, grid type packings, metal sheet and random packings.

Hydrodynamics in packed beds
• The liquid hold up is an important hydrodynamic parameter for gas liquid flow in packed beds. It enables the determination of the pressuredrop and the fluid effective velocity within the packing. The latter is futher used for determination of the liquid side mass transfer cofficient, the liquid hold up is also used to design support devices for the columnsince it gives the liquid weight in operation.
• Pressure drop in packed columns is an important parameter especially in atmospheric and vacuum columns where the separated liquid is sensitive to temperature.

Liquid Hold-up in packed bedThere are two different types of liquid holdup in a packed bed:
• static :Static holdup represents the volume of liquid per
volume of packing that remains in the bed after the gas and liquid flows are stopped and the bed has drained .
• operating :Operating, or dynamic, holdup is the volume of
liquid per volume of packing that drains out of the bed after the gas and liquid flows to the column are stopped .

The static holdup is dependent on :
• the packing surface area
• the roughness of the packing surface
• the contact angle between the packing surface and the liquid
• System properties
Operating holdup primarily is a function of the liquid flow rate and gas/liquid system properties

DISCUSSIONExperimental curves for the total hold-up hL in a Mellapak 2Xpacking at various air and water loads were measured. Two regions can be distinguished:
• A low gas-load region in which the hold-up hL depends solely on the liquid load, the linear part of the curves.
• A high gas-load region in which hL depends on both the liquid load and the vapor loads, the curvy part of the curves.The transition between these two regions occurs at the loading point.

DISCUSSION
• Hold-up increases with increased viscosity. The influence of viscosity is stronger at high liquid load than at low liquid load. Alix and Raynal(2008) indicate a power law dependency of 0.13 in experiments with Mellapak 252Y. We found a higher dependency at high liquid loadand a lower at low liquid load.
• In the correlations of Rocha et al. (1993), the liquid hold-up is an important parameter in pressure drop estimation. The liquid hold-up and then the pressure drop is expected to increase with increasing liquid viscosity.
• Our experimental hold-up results are significantly higher than what can be predicted from SULCOL. This discrepancy is under investigation

Pressure drop was measured based on pressure measurement at 6 positions along the packing height. The liquid flow rate was between 0 and 55 m3/(m2·h), and gas flow was between 0 and 17000 m3/(m2·h). The pressure profiles through the packing were close to linear.

DISCUSSION
• The pressure drop values in the figures are based on the pressure instruments just below and just above the packing. The total pressure drop followed the expected pattern as a function of liquid and gas flows.
• The column showed flooding-like behaviour at superficial gas velocities of about 3 - 4 m/s depending on the liquid flow. (The flow factor is about 1.1 times the gas velocity at the given conditions.)
• The pressure drop increases slightly with increased viscosity. According to traditional flooding and pressure drop charts (Strigle, 1993), the pressure drop dependence on liquid viscosity can be seen from the capacity factor, which is proportional to the gas flow in exponent 2 and the liquid viscosity in exponent 0.1 (assuming constant liquid density).
