Abstract

The paper considers the large-scale characteristics of counter-current gas-liquid flow in the column filled with Mellapak 500Y structured packing. The effect of ascending gas flow on the development of capillary-gravitational instability is determined using flow pattern observations, local liquid flow rate characterization and pressure drop measurements. The correlation for prediction of the critical gas flow factor corresponded to flow flooding is proposed and verified.
