Friedrich Raschig made an outstanding discovery that revolutionized industrial chemical processing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His finding that fabricating cylindrical packing materials from metals and ceramics significantly increased gas-liquid contact opportunities within reactor columns, thus improving reaction efficiency.
Rings may be stacked in either a random or regular arrangement depending on process requirements. Random packing involves dispersion of fillers randomly within the tower’s volume for greater surface area in less space; with regular packing arrangements using specific patterns that enhance tower or column chemistry.
Carbon raschig rings provide numerous advantages to industrial processes and applications, from wastewater oxidation to distillation. Not only do they increase gas-liquid contact surface area, they are resistant to various chemicals, acids, solvents as well as temperatures extremes. Finally they boast exceptional durability that withstands both physical shocks and extreme temperatures – two qualities essential for the success of any process or application.
Carbon raschig rings provide a reliable and cost-effective solution to industrial processes when properly cleaned and maintained. Their extended shelf life, easy handling, low pressure drop performance and minimal resistance make them the ideal solution for applications such as wastewater oxidation, distillation, air stripping or air stripping.
