Liquid Distributors
The importance of good liquid distribution is vital when using structured packing. The main role of a liquid distributor is to evenly distribute liquid throughout the packing bed's cross-section, ensuring a consistent concentration and temperature profile at all heights. The liquid distributor's design impacts separation performance.
Brentwood can help in differentiating the features of our liquid distributors, including gravity vs. pressure-driven liquid flow, distribution methods and single or multi-stage flow patterns. The quality of distribution is essential, influenced by drip point density, pattern, uniform flow rates, distance to the bed's top, orientation, and design aspects. The choice of distributor depends on the difficulty of the separation, column height constraints, liquid irrigation density, turndown required and cleanliness of the process liquid.
We will help you to find the right liquid distributor and tailor it in accordance with your specific application.

Structured Packings
Brentwood offers an extensive line of structured packings, designed to fit any mass transfer application. Selecting a structured packing for an application involves balancing mass transfer performance, pressure drop, and fouling resistance.
Mist Eliminators
Brentwood offers a complete line of mist eliminators to capture entrained liquid in the exhaust flow. Products are available for both horizontal and vertical installations. Brentwood’s droplet separators use inertial impaction to remove water droplets with low pressure loss.
