Column systems are an integral part of the petrochemical industry. These critical components and its various parts are crucial when one needs to get high-quality products and meet set separation requirements. It is one of the many reasons why while installing a column system; one should consult with the experts for best results. If that is not done, one can end up with a less efficient system resulting from defective design. Companies associated with chemical products and petrochemical processing would agree on the importance of column systems as well as its various components. If you are studying to become a chemical engineer, this would probably the first thing you would learn in your education days.

A typical column system consists of column packing, packed column and several other components that make the column internals. These systems are installed in chemical processing plants that find extensive use during both thermal as well as chemical separations.

Packed columns and its benefits
The packed column is easy to install and are suitable for handling foaming systems in industries. 
Column packing is corrosion-resistant and has a very low maintenance cost. 
Distillation columns are specially designed as per industrial requirements for maximum efficiency. 
Cheaper than a plate column and optimum liquid-vapor distribution. 
Best for gas absorption and liquid extraction. 
Make in stainless steel and metal packed columns are strong and have good wettability.
