(It is the equivalent of the well known BX® packing.)The AWSP packing is manufactured from specially wovenwire gauze that is pressed into smooth plates, uniformly perforated, corrugated and stacked with corrugations in alternate directions. This construction promotes intimate gas/liquid contact. AMISTCO AWSP packing is well suited for applications that require high separation efficiency and minimal hold-up. Proven applications include:• Pharmaceuticals• Fine chemicals• Flavors and fragrances• Electronic chemicalsThe performance of AWSP can be summarized below:HETP 5” to 8”Pressure drop 0.1 W.C. per theoretical stageLiquid flow 0.05 to 5 gpm/square footCapacity factor 0.1 to 0.25 ft./secBX registration trademark by Sulzer
