350y corrugated ceramic structured packing is a specialized, high-efficiency separation tool designed specifically for gas sweetening processes. As a type of规整填料 (structured packing), it features a precisely arranged corrugated ceramic structure that enhances mass transfer, making it ideal for removing acidic gases like H2S from industrial gas streams. Its design and material properties directly address the core challenges of gas purification, ensuring reliable and efficient treatment in chemical, petrochemical, and energy industries.

Structural Design and Performance Advantages
The "350y" in its name refers to the packing density, with "350" indicating approximately 350 corrugation waves per meter, and "y" signifying the standard unit for structured packing wave count. This high density, combined with the regular corrugation angle (typically 90° or 120°), creates a uniform flow field and maximizes specific surface area—critical for efficient gas-liquid contact. Crafted from high-purity alumina or other heat-resistant ceramics, the packing exhibits excellent chemical inertness, withstanding harsh conditions like high temperatures (up to 1200°C), strong acids/bases, and corrosive media. Unlike traditional散装填料 (random packing), its ordered structure minimizes channeling and dead zones, reducing pressure drop while boosting传质效率 (mass transfer efficiency) by up to 30% in gas sweetening applications. Key specifications include a specific surface area of ~350 m²/m³, a porosity of 70-80%, and mechanical strength sufficient for both fixed-bed and fluidized-bed operations.
Applications in Gas Sweetening Processes
In gas sweetening, the primary goal is to reduce H2S and CO2 concentrations to meet pipeline transportation or environmental排放标准 (emission standards). 350y corrugated ceramic structured packing excels in various scenarios:
- Natural gas treatment: Removes H2S from raw natural gas, ensuring compliance with pipeline quality specifications (e.g., H2S < 4 ppm). Its high efficiency allows processing of high-sulfur feedstocks with minimal energy consumption.
- Synthesis ammonia plants: Purifies synthesis gas (H2, N2, CO) by removing H2S, preventing catalyst poisoning in downstream ammonia synthesis units.
- Refinery tail gas purification: Treats H2S-laden off-gases from catalytic reforming or hydrodesulfurization units, reducing environmental impact and recovering elemental sulfur.
- Biogas upgrading: Removes H2S from biogas (methane-rich) to produce biomethane for injection into the grid, enhancing its calorific value and usability.
FAQ:
Q1: What does "350y" signify in the packing's designation?
A1: "350y" denotes the packing density, where "350" indicates approximately 350 corrugation waves per meter, and "y" is the standard unit for structured packing wave count, representing a high-efficiency, compact design.
Q2: How does ceramic structured packing compare to plastic or metal options for gas sweetening?
A2: Ceramic packing offers superior chemical resistance and high-temperature tolerance, making it ideal for extreme conditions (e.g., high acid gas concentrations, elevated temperatures). While metal packing has higher mechanical strength, ceramic avoids corrosion-related failures, extending service life in harsh sweetening environments.
Q3: What are the typical operating parameters for 350y corrugated ceramic structured packing in gas sweetening?
A3: It operates at temperatures up to 1200°C, pressures up to 10 MPa, and handles gas flow rates of 500-2000 Nm³/h per cubic meter of packing, with H2S removal efficiencies exceeding 99% in well-designed systems.
