Sandwich packings, consisting of alternatingly stacked conventional structured packings with different geometric surface areas, are promising for increasing capacity and efficiency of separation columns. Film flow and froth flow evolve along a stack, which requires comprehensive fluid dynamic analysis. In particular, the froth height is an essential parameter to determine the spatial extent of the flow regimes. Ultrafast X‐ray tomography and a 3D‐printed pressure drop profile measurement module were applied to independently estimate this parameter. The results are compared with existing correlations.
In sandwich packings, consisting of two standard structured packings with different specific surface area, high gas‐liquid phase interactions occur. These, assumedly responsible for the increased separation efficiency, are investigated experimentally by pressure drop profile measurements and ultrafast X‐ray tomography.
