GIP-1 Type Support Plate

Structured for efficient mass transfer in Ø > 100 mm towers with metal and plastic packings

GIP-1 Type Support Plate

Structural Backbone for Packing Performance in Process Towers

The GIP-1 Type Support Plate is a crucial feature of column internals that has been designed to be firm, stable, and highly efficient in supporting both plastic and metal packing materials. The support plate was specifically developed for use in columns whose diameters exceed 100 millimeters. This support plate forms the base structure below the packed bed and is meant to deliver long-term performance and reliability.

 

Made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, the GIP-1 plate provides a uniform load for the packing and creates the best space for gas and liquid flow. Its structured and open design provides minimal pressure drop.

 

and prevents the possibility of flooding, facilitating improved contact between phases and an improved overall mass transfer operation.

 

The GIP-1 is unique in that it is versatile. Both with random and structured packing, it perfectly fits into the tower system, providing low-maintenance operation, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance for a variety of challenging applications.

 

You’ll commonly find the GIP-1 in critical areas like absorption towers, distillation units, scrubbing systems, and drying columns. Wherever consistent fluid dynamics and packing stability are essential, this support plate delivers.
