Berl Saddles

In case of randomly packed installations for obtaining high and uniform viodage and preventing breakage, tower is first filled with liquid (water) and packings are then dumped into it.
Most common random packings used in industrial towers are Berl saddles,  Intalox saddles, super intalox saddles, Raschig rings, pall rings, Hy pak, etc. As pall rings, and intalox saddles permit a more economical tower design they are replacing older raschig rings, and berl saddles. Pall rings are made out of metal or plastic (poly propylene) and have the same general form as raschig rings whth height equal to diameter.

Berl saddles and intalox saddles are available in range 6 to 50mm and are formed out of plastic or ceramic.

Berl saddles and intalox saddles provide more gas liquid contacting area than raschig rings.
