ZeCor Alloy Packing Support System

www.mecsglobal.com

Maximum open area for lowest gas pressure drop and highest efficiency in brick lined, ZeCor or other alloy sulfuric acid plant towers. Features and Benefits:
Strong and light weight for easy handling and field assembly Absorbs thermal and mechanical shocks unlike ceramic Available for new towers and field retrofits Welding is not required for assembly Sections sized for insertion through existing man-ways High quality shop fabricated sections minimize costly field labor expenses and expedite the installation schedule Custom designed for maximum tower efficiency, specific to your application Materials of construction selected for process conditions to eliminate corrosion

The MECS ZeCor Alloy Packing Support System provides the optimum design for sulfuric acid plant towers. The MECS design replaces both ceramic grid bars and grid blocks. While the ZeCor Alloy Packing Support System is the natural choice for new alloy towers, it can also be installed in existing brick lined towers for a retrofit application. ZeCor-Z corrosion resistant metal alloy is the primary material of construction employed in this design but other alloys such as ZeCor-310M can also be used depending upon process conditions. The ZeCor Alloy Packing Support System is supplied in pre-fabricated in sections, convenient for ease of handling and suitable for insertion through available man-ways. No welding is required during assembly. Installation schedules are significantly reduced compared to traditional ceramic domes and Aludur beam construction. ZeCor Alloy Packing Support Systems have additional distinct advantages over ceramic systems. They can absorb thermal and mechanical shocks and require much less handling resulting in lower field labor expense.
