The Natter Ring belongs to the third generation of random packings. These packings date from the late 1970s to the 1990s. They were designed in 1984 by Dale Natter.
Characteristics of Natter Rings include:
- Excellent mechanical strength.
- Improved efficiency and performance due to transverse liquid penetration and renewal of the surface film.
- Use of a pronounced surface for mass and heat transfer applications.
- Lower bed height because of the exceptionally high specific surface area.
The geometry of these packings also leads to the following outcomes:
- Maximum contact between parts while maintaining minimal nesting/overlap.
- High strength-to-weight ratio allows supporting a 15-meter bed height.
- Uniform performance due to the even arrangement of the random packings.
These unique characteristics make Natter Rings attractive for various towers and industries.
