✦ Synopsis

Correlations for pressure drop and upper capacity limit (flooding) are useful for the design of packed columns. Available correlations are based on the results of measurements made at atmospheric pressure. Extrapolation to higher pressures is not recommended. Therefore, systematic experimental investigations were carried out in a pilot plant at pressures of up to 100 bar. The experimental equipment and techniques, evaluation methods, and some characteristic experimental results are presented.
