Smaller sized packings are generally dumped to the packed columns, and the large ones of size greater than ______________ mm are stacked individually, which provides better control over bed porosity and offers lower gas pressure drop?

Correct answer: C. 75

  • A. 25
  • B. 50
  • C. 75
  • D. 150

Explanation

Packings larger than about 75 mm are normally stacked by hand rather than dumped. Individual stacking improves void distribution and reduces gas-side pressure drop, while smaller packings can be dumped safely.
