Canton, OH - Koch Knight LLC, one of the leading innovator in corrosion proof materials and environmental heat transfer equipment, introduces its 3-inch FLEXISADDLE™ LPD (Low Pressure Drop) random packing for chemical applications. Ideal for SO4 (sulfuric acid towers), SO3 (sulfite) converters, and HRS (heat recovery system) towers, 3-inch FLEXISADDLE LPD provides a 35+% lower pressure drop than alternative 3-inch saddles with the same mass transfer efficiency.

Three-inch FLEXISADDLE LPD from Koch Knight is a less-expensive alternative to structured packing, and its mass transfer efficiency translates into reduced operating costs. Plant operation savings with FLEXISADDLE LPD includes reduced blower operating costs, increased unit capacity and throughput, and improvements to other ancillary equipment where pressure drop savings may be applied.

Constructed of durable acid- and corrosion-resistant KNIGHTWARE ceramic, 3-inch FLEXISADDLE LPD withstands rugged handling better than other open-design random tower packings. Its unique aerodynamic design and high open area limit nesting, ensuring the greatest possible flow and transfer efficiency.
